No power going to my host shield My Leonardo is plugged into my PC with no issues, the host shield is not receiving any power. It is soldered correctly.
I tried to charge my phone, use my mouse or keyboard but nothing works.
I also bought another host shield from here and soldered it myself, there was also no power to it either so I bought the pre-soldered one because maybe I messed up it up but the same issue occurs.
Arduino Leonardo with Headers: Bought from official Arduino store here
Please post link to datasheets.
Your links points at sales sites. Do You expect us to buy those things, fault find them and tell You? The pictures tell the same, nothing.
Does the documentation tell you anything about the various solder jumpers on the board? It looks like the power to the input socket is optional. This manual seems to cover a USB Host Shield of the same design:
No need to be aggressive, linking the products is useful just so it's there if anyone wanted to see what I have. Surely someone like you can understand that
Okey. If You want to wait until a helper playing with exactly those things joins in, fine.
If You want help in a reasonable time by helpers knowing how to read datasheets, post links to that.
"As before, sales sites are useless." Explain why on other forums people were asking for links what I have? No harm in just adding the link incase. Thanks for your concern
I've seen members waiting really long and no helper takes on the question because it lacks all facts needed. That's not the way any helper wants it to be. I try to step in and give some advice, sometimes hard, to make the ball rolling.
It's a joy assisting any member regardless of the level of the question. Reading datasheets on unknown circuits for 50 years there's always some help to give.
If You read questions here You will find that most helpers are annoyed by members not reading the advice, "How to get.....".
The help then turns into help to make the question understandable and possible to solve.
Provide what forum asks for, not whatever You want.
Lots of pictures, lots of words, are mostly a waist of energy. It looks like a trash can.
Facts, datasheets, program documentation (not words making a novell), what's wanted and what's happening....
The shield should have enough power for my mouse, I got my friends who have the exact same setup as me with the same products to try to : charge their phone, use mouse, use keyboard and it all worked. Just not for me
Can you have your friend try your USB host shield on their Leonardo, to see if it works for them? Also try their shield on your Leonardo and verify if it works. That should narrow down the problem to either the shield or the Leonardo, although after trying three shields I would suspect some problem with the Leonardo.
You will need the ICSP header on the Leonardo,and the corresponding socket on the USB host shield, because that is the only connection to the SPI interface on the Leonardo. Verify that the solder jumpers are not present to connect the SPI interface to pins 11, 12, and 13.
Use a voltmeter to verify that the USB host shield is getting power from the Leonardo.
