Looking for tutorial for the usb host shield library

Hey everyone.

I have recently purchased a usb host shield. This, so that I can connect a gamepad via usb to my arduino. The problem I have, is that I can't seem to find good tutorials on how to use the library. There are examples, but I'm afraid that I don't understand them just from looking at them. Besides, I am not interested in learning how to program for one specific device. Instead, I want to understand what the general approach for this library is. How it is structured and how you're expected to program with it. This way, I can apply the knowledge in other, later projects as well and I'll have a more solid understanding of what my code does.

This is the link to the github page. Note that they do have examples as well as 'documentation' and tons upon tons of blogposts on their websites. The documentation is not very great. It is simply rather a long list of classes and functions without any real explanation as to what they do and how to use them. The blogposts are also not of much help, as none of them really explain how to use the library in general. Or maybe there is such a post, but I just haven't found it yet. In either case, I'm still looking for a good tutorial.

Any help is appreciated.

thank you kindly,

Dexterdy
