This could easily be made to control 256 LEDs with 4 x 7219's, right? I have not tried that yet. Range is over 30 feet - never tested longest range; whatever max wireless keyboard capability is. HOWEVER, there were a couple curious QUIRKS I have yet to work out. Seems I MUST POWER the combo of UNO/HOST SHLD from the UNO USB from a PC or a power cube in an outlet; will typically not work using only DC Power Input Socket on UNO - i.e. will not work dependably with no power to the USB port... it tries to... and will sometimes if it WAS just powered from the USB and unplug it with power to the VDC port, but will not initiate on reset with DC power alone. I've tried fooling the UNO USB port into thinking it was powered from a cube... injecting 5v/3.3v to the USB, but that is not working just yet. I've scoured the schematics of both UNO and HOST SHLD, but still confused what is special about the USB power on the UNO versus the 5 VDC input power - appear to be the same difference. Also, HOST SHLD is supposed to pass I/O through but digital pins that worked to control 7219 from the UNO alone, no longer worked out of the HOST SHLD header. I moved them to A0, A1 & A2, (as shown in the photo) and it works fine. Still have to investigate what happened to those digital I/O. ALSO, there are MANY online videos about using this HOST SHLD card and the 7219, but I found I had to watch quite a few to get all the info I needed to make this work as I wanted - any single ASCII keyboard code can be assigned to any single LED - and that's all I was after. Thanks for reading! Review: piece of junk - Arrived with pins bent very badly. More importantly, Arduino UNO (and others) is completely unresponsive when this board is attached. Will not even blink an LED. You can't upload any sketches nor get anything from the serial port. Arduino works fine once you remove this piece of junk. A visual inspection did not reveal anything obvious and a quick check with an Ohm meter did not show any shorts or similar. Would give it zero stars if I could. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07J2KKGZ4 | | Brand | ARCELI | | Built-In Media | 1 * USB Host Shield Support Google Android ADK & UNO MEGA Duemilanove 2560 | | Compatible Devices | Uno 328, Diecimila / Duemilanove 328, Mega 2560, Mega 1280 | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (282) | | Manufacturer | ARCELI | | Memory Storage Capacity | 1 TB | | Mfr Part Number | 00241 | | Model Name | ARCELI USB Host Shield | | Model Number | 00241 | | Operating System | Android 2.3.4 | | Processor Brand | Atmel | | Processor Count | 1 | | RAM Memory Technology | LPDDR3 | | Total Usb Ports | 2 | | Wireless Compability | Bluetooth | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ARCELI - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Included Components:** 1 * USB Host Shield Support Google Android ADK & UNO MEGA Duemilanove 2560 - **Memory Storage Capacity:** 1 TB - **Model Name:** ARCELI USB Host Shield ## Images ![USB Host Shield for Arduino UNO MEGA 2560 Support with Google Android ADK HUB - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CZPs7Wr1L.jpg) ![USB Host Shield for Arduino UNO MEGA 2560 Support with Google Android ADK HUB - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RRcOmMQfL.jpg) ![USB Host Shield for Arduino UNO MEGA 2560 Support with Google Android ADK HUB - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61g+eRWPf4L.jpg) ![USB Host Shield for Arduino UNO MEGA 2560 Support with Google Android ADK HUB - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wJ0arouYL.jpg) ![USB Host Shield for Arduino UNO MEGA 2560 Support with Google Android ADK HUB - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rNYiLMXnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked Well as Wireless USB Keyboard Remote Control (up to 256 outputs?) *by J***R on August 22, 2024* My objective was simply to use a very inexpensive (<$20) Logitech USB Keyboard as a "remote control" of one MAX7219 board with 64 LEDs (8x8 matrix) on an Arduino UNO - 5v at about 3mA per LED at max intensity of "15."

Used the library listed in the product description on Amazon. This library is also available in the Arduino IDE library manager. Found the manual for the shield at the site listed in the product description. To set up the board for a PC keyboard, the 5 volt USB power jumper was soldered, and the power to the shield 3.3v and 5v jumpers were soldered. Everything worked fine using the library's example "USBHIDBootKbd" Arduino sketch. ## Frequently Bought Together - ARCELI USB Host Shield for Arduino USB Shield UNO MEGA 2560 Support with Google Android ADK USB HUB - Arduino Uno REV3 [A000066] - Arduino Uno Rev3 SMD Microcontroller Board [A000073] – ATmega328P, 16MHz, 32KB Flash, USB & PWM Support, Ideal for DIY Projects, STEM Learning, Robotics, and Prototyping --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/111859238-usb-host-shield-for-arduino-uno-mega-2560-support-google](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/111859238-usb-host-shield-for-arduino-uno-mega-2560-support-google) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
