ARDUINO UNO USB CAPABILITIES

Thank you in advance for any knowledge you may pass!

This is the first time using the Arduino Uno. I have searched extensively trying to find if the Adruino has USB capabilities. I was planning on having a type one usb import (regular USB computer import) instead of the factory type two.

I don't know how to go about this since I haven't found anything

Look up USB Host Shield, I believe www.sparkfun.com carries one for the Uno.

Thank you very much. I have seen this before. I just didn't know if you could somehow splice a USB port into the Arduino.

Well, if "plug on a shield" is equal to "splice a USB port on", then yes you can.

They are called Type A and Type B, not 1 and 2.

The Arduino Due has a Type A/B port which will accept either A or B plugs. The Micro and Leonardo may have the same port - I've never checked.
