Using USB Host Shield 2.0 with CH340 FTDI, USB Serial

Projects Programming
1

Trying to connect using the USB Host Shield 2.0 to a USB device (Geiger Counter) that is using a built in CH340 FTDI/UART chip (Not a P2109/1) Which basically uses the Serial FTDI to give access to text commands to get data from device.
The Board is a ESP32 without a USB Host controller on board.

Does anyone know of any working examples using library with CH340 FTDI/UART?

Found these this reference to one but getting compile errors (think it may be because the USB Host Shield 2.0 Library is later version)

Ahh ignore that, got it going was just how I expanded the files.

Created a new folder in USB Host Sheild 2.0 'examples' directory, copied files there then moved *.cpp & *.h to the main root folder of the library!

Working well sending cmd's & receiving data back from Geiger Counter! Thankyou!

Just wonder if you have this code up on GitHub? As could not find!
Be really good to try & get a Pull Request up for addition to Felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0 Repo as really useful bit of code I'm sure many will get value from when hit same issue!
