Paging @peekay123 and others. Let me preface this by saying that I tried to port it myself. I’m just not getting anywhere. It’s a bit too advanced and I would love some help/suggestions on how to port this beast. Library URL: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0 I have the hardware necess…

Sounds good. How about I just give you the one I have and I’ll go order another? Looking forward to talking with you!

@peekay123 @harrisonhjones Did you guys take a look at this? I’m currently using this library on an Arduino, but would like to move over to the Core/Photon.

@tw_uk , I working my way through all the porting. I’ve hit a snag in the LCD include file with a write(uint8_t) extension to the class which, for some reason, won’t compile. It’s just a matter of time. :smile: UPDATE: I have the code compiling on the (beta) develop branch for the Photon!

@peekay123 Oh cool! I’ve noticed ‘spark-usb-host’ too, although haven’t tried it so far. Think I’ll get a shield board to make connecting my USB host arduino shield to the Core/Photon a bit easier. Shame we can’t make the Photon act as a USB host itself, and avoid needing the shield!

@tw_uk , the Photon supports USB OTG but supporting code firmware code will come later. Look here: [image] USB master on Photon Hardware Can the Photon act as USB master?

@peekay123 Yeah, I noticed that thread...but then this post made me think otherwise? [image] USB master on Photon USB master on Photon - #12 by mdma

@tw_uk , you’re right! Not sure if that applies to the P0 and/or P1 modules.

@peekay123 Do you have the core classes + ACM working (cdcacm.h)? They’re the only ones I’m using at the moment! My Photon is on its way now. Hopefully I’ll be able to try this out soon.

@tw_uk , I have the ACM example and the entire library code compiling without error. Whether it works or not is another question :grinning:

@peekay123 Happy to help you test it out, when I have my Photon & ‘shield shield’! Will you be putting your work-in-progress up anywhere?
