Title: USB Host Support?
Post by: nixcamic on December 26, 2012, 07:53:10 pm

I'm just starting getting into Arduino stuff, and I saw that the Due has USB host support and was wondering if it's at all possible to do something similar with the Digispark?

Out of the box the Digispark cannot be a USB host - the Due and the Digispark are pretty much on opposite ends of the spectrum - the Digispark is small cheap and fairly limited, the Due is big expensive (over 5x the price) and has a ton of features.

But something like this:

Could work with the Digispark, but would require extensive changes to the circuit and library.
