ESP8266 Community Forum

USB Host for ESP8266 is available. I tried a USB keyboard and it works!

The links to buy boards are broken but there are board clones on the usual Chinese websites.

There are lots of interesting supported devices on this page.

The details on connecting the board are in this thread.

Interesting !
I've such board sitting in a drawer since awhile, I didn't know that library has now ESP support.
Adding an HDD external storage to ESP would be amazing ...
