It will, but you need to write the code. Otherwise, take a look at Black Widow at asynclabs.com

Will this work with WiFi dongles?

Hi, Oleg. Great work!
I’m very interested in learning Arduino and I would like to setup this as my “Hello World” project.

If I want to get it work like at youtube video, which are the firmware I need to build? (be able to get data from PS3 controller and wiimote). Can you tell me how to get the complete project files?

thanks again for such a great work!

Shield will work with serial USB adapters with not much difficulty, but you will need to write the code. Look at CDC specs at usb.org to see what’s involved.

Hi,
I have a noob question regarding this product. I am hoping to interface an IR receiver that outputs ASCII codes via USB to a Duemilanove. Does this shield have support for USB serial adapters?

Cheers,

Chris

I looked further and it appears that FTDI RS232 chip uses vendor-specific interface on USB side. FTDI provides plenty of information on their site; also, you may look at Linux usbserial and ftdi_sio source code to get an idea.

Then you just need to implement CDC; look it up at usb.org

The phone manufacturer just use the virtual serial port for the AT-commands.

You can get CDC description on usb.org site. But that’s not enough – you also need to figure out the protocol of phone PC exchange. You’ll need a sniffer AKA protocol analyzer for USB or some other way to get the information; I doubt that phone manufacturer will be willing to share it with you.
