It can be mated with other Arduino and non-Arduino MCU boards, but it takes more work.

Ideally, it should be used together with Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V board. Mini shield main advantages are low size, weight and cost.
#SPARKFUN ARDUINO USB HOST SHIELD SET UP FULL SIZE#
Full size shield is recommended for basic prototyping and simple projects. Full size shield has been designed for ease of use it has plenty of empty space, features extra pads, solder jumpers and extensive silkscreen markings, simplifying board modification and troubleshooting. Full size shield is designed to fit on top of “Standard” Arduinos, such as Uno, Duemilanove, Mega 1280/2560, and compatible clones. USB Host shields are available in two form factors – full size and Mini. Older revisions of the shield will be described later. At the time of writing, current revision of full size USB Host Shield is 2.0 and current Mini shield is 1.1. This document covers both full-size and Mini shield variants. Finally, I demonstrate ways to adapt USB Host Shield to non-typical Arduino boards and less-common power configurations. I start with explaining board’s connectors, pads and jumpers, as well as differences between shield variants.
On this page, I’m giving detailed description of board’s hardware. In USB Shield section of this site you can find many articles describing projects and code examples written for this shield. The shield provides USB Host interface, allowing full and low-speed communication with USB devices – keyboards, mice, joysticks, MIDI, digital cameras, Bluetooth, and many others. USB Host Shield is an inexpensive ( $25 for the full-sized board and $20 for the Mini variant ) add-on board for Arduino development platform.
