micropython hid host?

[insertokname]

is there any possible way to make a hid host with micropython?

my current setup:
i have a raspberry pi pico w that has a female usb A connector soldered to it.
d+ is soldered to gpio0 and d- is soldered to gpio1.

I was thinking that there may be a way to use this as a usb A host.

On most chips it's not possible to add additional USB ports as it requires hardware peripheral support in the chip, but it turns out the PIO in the rp2040 can handle this!
There's a few examples of people trying this out: https://hackaday.com/2022/12/28/usb-host-on-rp2040-with-pio/
That's based on the work done by https://github.com/sekigon-gonnoc/Pico-PIO-USB which is only for Arduino, I don't know of anyone trying to port that to micropython.

Thank you for your reply!

I'll look into the arduino code!
