What is the best way to connecter 1 USB flash drive to 2 pcs? [on hold]
In my project, i need to read data from a blackbox system that has a usb port. First the blackbox uploads its data in the USB drive .Next i need to connect the flash drive to the pc so that i can parse the data using c++.
Thats why i need to know :
-if there is a away to stream data directly into arduino or raspberry pi from the blackbox without the flash drive.
--or--
-how to make a usb switch using arduino or raspberry pi .
I tried to use 5v relais for the D+ and D- pins to switch between the systems. But that failed miserably.

Did you try just using a standard USB cable to directly connect the blackbox and the destinating computer? What kind of control/access do you have for the blackbox? Is the ultimate destination a regular computer or arduino/raspberry pi? Can you provide any more technical details on the equipment involved?

the black box system is actually a medical monitoring system . it needs to be connected to a Usb drive so that it can store data to it like heart beat rate , systolic and diastolic tension and so on...

The flash drive may be an intentional design to protect the device. If it is being used for patient care, there could be serious consequences if what you connect messes it up. If you are using it for some other purpose, like a lab monitoring device for experimental data, the risks would be different. It likely complies with government regulations that involve lots of safeguards. (cont'd)

It would be worth contacting the manufacturer to see if their technical people would talk to you about interfacing with it. There's a good chance that some version of it is used in a live clinical setting, and they may already have an off-the-shelf way to interface with it.

First ,my project is already functional on new models that use ethernet to stream data. Second , old models don't have that feature , they only use usb to stream data and i need to make a sub program that work on them . Third , in my country , we dont have actual tech support rerguarding these machines. Fourth i'm actrually an anesthesist trying to make a thesis on this project , so patient health is my top priority
