class usb_host.Port(dp: microcontroller.Pin, dm: microcontroller.Pin)

USB host port. Also known as a root hub port.

Create a USB host port on the given pins. Access attached devices through the usb module. Keep this object referenced while interacting with devices, otherwise they will be disconnected.

Parameters:

  • dp (Pin) – The data plus pin

  • dm (Pin) – The data minus pin

deinit() → None

Turn off the USB host port and release the pins for other use.

__enter__() → Port

No-op used by Context Managers.

__exit__() → None
