VDIP1 USB Host Development

This little device abstracts the complexity of the USB hardware and driver interface from your microcontroller. Using the VDIP1, simple commands now give your microcontroller USB host access.

A USB host can talk to devices such as USB-serial converters, Flash drives, printers, mice, and more!
