This could better be discussed on the forum and when all is clear, bring it here with a well defined feature request.

@tonhuisman your answer made me search the forum (as some years ago in the first days without github, and form there to now still too much different places to question for help) --

and brought me this tread that lets me now take into consideration that "RPI-Easy" as a new way to try...

thx for pushing me a bit...

I think this is solved by switching to RPiEasy, so not needed here (no follow-up or further replies), I assume?

ESP32-S2 and other new ESP32 versions do also have some nice USB features. At least capable of implementing USB slave devices like HID devices. Not sure if it also supports USB host functionality. As soon as those functions will be looked into, I will also implement those for ESPEasy.
