Based on "Collin's Lab USB Hacking with Arduino" video dated November 30th, 2010, I am really inspired to build this device. But some of the parts have discontinued.

#1. The USB host shield has been discontinued - http://www.circuitsathome.com/products- ... r-arduino/. So I have to get the current replacement - USB host shield v2.0 - http://www.circuitsathome.com/products- ... assembled/. It will also require an Arduino Uno board as the micro controller.
After reading your product specification, May I use Freetronics USBDroid (with USB host built-in) by Freetronics http://www.freetronics.com/products/usb ... 7Yn-I2SxD0 for this project?
#2. I downloaded the sketch code http://cdn.makezine.com/make/2010/12/LP ... 01203a.zip and paste it to latest Arduino IDE v1.0.5 under OS X and clicked "verify". There was an error on line
Code: Select all
EP_RECORD ep_record[ LPK25_NUM_EP ]; //endpoint record structure for the LPK25 controller
Code: Select all
"EP_RECORD" does not name a type.
#3 I notice the file extension of latest Arduino v1.0.5 is .ino. The sketch file suffix downloaded above is .pde. Am I downloading the right file? Does Arduino IDE changed user's sketch file extension lately?
Any guidance/explanation would be much appreciated to plan this project properly.
Thank you.
