USB Host Shield & Arduino Mega 2560

Development Boards Arduino

I am in the process of setting up a Microsoft XBox 360 receiver to work through the Sparkfun USB Shield, which is piggyback connected to an Arduino Mega 2560.

Cannot get the receiver to light up in order to pair the XBox controller. I read somewhere that the Mega 2560 is not 100% compatible with the USB Shield, and that a bunch of pins need to be jumpered.

Can anyone shed some light as to this issue ???

The SPI pins on the Uno and Mega are on different pins. You’ll have to patch those over manually instead of just plugging in the shield.
