FTDI Chip Vinco Prototyping Shield Development Kit VNCLO-SHLD-1A

The Vinculo is a dual channel USB Host/Device Controller is targeted at rapid development and prototyping of USB Host/Device interfaces. An optional Vinculo prototyping board provides add-on expansion board support. The Vinculo features an 8-channel, 10Bit ADC, PWM interface and supports connectivity to a wide range of application boards developed by the Arduino open-source community. These include Ethernet, motor control, LCD and many others.
