For this project I used the following: An Arduino board. The secondary objective of this project was to demonstrate LCD support in USB Host shield library. I also wrote a small sketch which polls the scale and outputs the weight. The shield is compatible with current version of USB library. To test this theory I made a simple setup consisting of Arduino UNO, USB Host shield and HD44780-compatible LCD display. One example of such clone is BlackWidow if you are aware about other compatible clones, please let me know. The shield is compatible with official full-size Arduino boards (Duemilanove, UNO, Mega, Mega 2560, and possibly others), as well as clones which supply both 3.3V and 5V to the shield. While MAX_RESET pin is still used in current version of USB Host library, it will be dropped from the next major revision of the code. MAX3421E RESET line is no longer handled by dedicated Arduino pin. All external connectors are now in the same place making enclosure layout easier. USB connector has been moved to the opposite side of the board. Some of the major improvements include the use of only 5 Arduino pins, 3. The benifit is that the 3.3V may also be used by 3.3V device such as maple and Microsoft gadgeteer board. So the 3.3V output is able to work with Arduino.

This compatibility is maintained on a software level as well all necessary code changes are performed using conditional compilation preprocessor directives. Oleg writes: What started as a quick re-factoring effort transformed to a major redevelopment, but finally all pieces fit together tightly and I am pleased to announce that initial release of USB Host Shield library ver.2.0 has been posted to github. The reason we use only 1 translator is the Arduino is able to detect 3.3v as high level voltage. Standard size boards, such as Duemilanove, UNO, as well as clones with classic connector layout, are also compatible with this revision of the shield.
The SPI interface has been moved to ICSP header making shield compatible out of the box with big Arduinos Mega and 2560. As the Arduino Mega don't have a female USB port, I bought an USB host shield, maybe it is not the best way, but I asked a lot and everyone told me that this. The main differences from rev.1xx are outlined below: But I can't change the programming of this printer, this thing is imperative for me, it must be a closed system, I just can send the information that I want to the printer by its USB port. The boards improved layout makes this shield compatible with more Arduinos, makes it easier to use and opens new possibilities.
