How to Handle Multiple SPI Slaves With USB Host Shield on Arduino?

SPI is, by nature, a "shareable", or stackable connection. You can stack shields on the ICSP header.

The problem is that very few (if any) shields come with stackaber headers on the ICSP / SPI pins.

I solved this problem by chaging the pins in the header for extended pins, making the header stackable.

Here's what I talking about (the upper shield is the USB host shield):
