esp32 USB-LS pure software host thru general IO pins. Up to 4 HID devices simultaneously.

board ~$3 :https://www.aliexpress.com/premium/LOLIN32.html or any of https://www.aliexpress.com/premium/ESP32.html

//connect the board, build & flash

git clone https://github.com/sdima1357/esp32_usb_soft_host

cd esp32_usb_soft_host/usb_test/

idf.py set-target esp32

idf.py menuconfig

Please set in Menuconfig->compiler options -> optimization level> O2 ( must be in O2 options. "idf.py set-target esp32" resets it to Og ,I don't know why)

Warning(disclaimer): Sorry, but target of this project right now - only research & proof of feasibility. I can't debug hardware which i don't have. Some hardware(devices) may not work, from different reasons. In the case of problem i suggest to check wires & use $3 CY7C68013A logic analyser. Sometimes i can help.
