Interface USB Arduino to another USB type B ??? Can we do that straigth forward via an USB cross-cable, B to B types, and can we read the Arduino USB and receive the data from the external equipment after some configurations ? That would be very cute! What would be the library ? Somebody give his great opinion on this matter ? Thanks in advance.

Pierre. :D

No that is not the way USB works. There is no such thing as a USB cross-cable. The USB in the Arduino is a USB slave device the USB device in a computer is a USB master (or host), The Arduino can't act as a host to other USB devices.
