A Feather form factor USB Host: The Hostess FeatherWing #Feather @theavalkyrie

Meet the Hostess FeatherWing – a USB host card in the Feather Form Factor being designed by @theavalkyrie.

I’m starting by building a featherwing that’ll have a SAMD21 and a USB A port. It’ll work with USB MIDI and HID devices for now, but it’ll be open source and stuff.

The board has been programmed to do various functions including handling USB keyboards, hosting a basic PS4 controller, and reading and writing USB MIDI data:

See Stargirl’s Twitter stream for updates on this work.
