Is the SparkFun USB HostShield compatible with an Arduino Mega 2560?

Thanks!

Hi guitarman.

Unfortunately it is not. SPI is in a different place on the Mega than on the Uno and this shield was designed for use on an Uno. Adding to that, I believe the library is hard coded for the Uno and won’t work on a Mega.

Wish I had better news, but it’s not going to be easy to get this working with a Mega.

Thanks for the info! Guess I’ll keep searching
