Resources and Going Further
The USB Type A Female Breakout is a great way to add USB devices to your microcontroller, assuming your microcontroller can support a USB host. For some ideas, see mbed's Handbook section on USB host libraries:
- USB Host Mouse to add a USB mouse to your project
- USB Host Keyboard (Yes, I know we just covered this one)
- USB Host MSD to read/write to USB flash drives
- USB Host Serial to communicate via Serial over the USB lines
- USB Host Hub to have the mbed act as a USB hub
