USB Host Shield No Computer.

[MasterSnipes]

Hello! I am using a Arduino USB host shield from Circuits@Home and I am connecting a USB Bluetooth dongle to a PS3 controller. I was wondering if I could connect the bluetooth dongle to the PS3 controller without a computer in the process. Would I have to remove all Serial things? Or is it some other process?

If you could reply ASAP that would be great!
Here is the code I am using:

I can't see anywhere where the code reads anything from the computer, it's just outputting messages. To the best of my knowledge it shouldn't matter that those messages aren't received. Have you tried it as is?

[katzohki]

Put your code inside code block if you can so it's easier to read.

Like this:
[ code]Code goes here[ /code]

Code: [Select]

Code goes here
(Take out the space in front of code and /code)

I have tried it but I haven't had much success. Is the while(!Serial) affecting it? Or whatever checks if Serial is connected?

Have you tried it while the computer is plugged in? It makes no sense to blame the Serial library if it works fine while it's plugged in.

In what sense is it not working? What are you trying to do? What are you expecting to see? What are you actually seeing?

Ahh, I missed that, it probably would stick there. Try commenting that line out.

It'd only stick there if he was using the CDC serial in, e.g., a Leornado. With, e.g., an Arduino Uno, that line is a no-op.
