Anyone know of a good explanation for the differences between Host, Device, and OTG? I am guessing I need the 'Device' capability.  Hobbiest & new to USB, and interested in being able to read/write to GPIO through my PC.  Thanks!

What?
It is forbidden to include links but there's a "Insert/Edit link" button for doing exactly that??
Then I've fallen into this trap already  :(

So do I. Especially the difference between Host and OTG (host) functionality must be more than Hub support yes/no.

This link gives some answers on USB in general.

Join my interest in this topic! I'd also love a good explanation for the differences.
