The Adafruit USB Host BFF adds USB Host capability to your QT Py or Xiao board, letting you connect keyboards, mice, game controllers, or USB storage devices to your tiny microcontroller projects. Built around the MAX3421E USB Host chip, it communicates via SPI for broad compatibility.
The compact BFF form factor plugs directly onto your QT Py. A Micro-B OTG connector keeps things small—use a standard OTG adapter to connect full-size USB devices. A P-FET power switch lets you control 5V power to peripherals via GPIO or the MAX3421E's built-in pin.
