SD card Data Logging Shield V1.0

The SD Card Data Logging Shield V1.0 is an expansion board designed to interface with Arduino and compatible microcontrollers, enabling data logging and storage on an SD card. This shield allows users to record and retrieve data, such as sensor readings or time-stamped logs, making it ideal for data acquisition, monitoring systems, and embedded projects.

Key Features:

• Compatible with Arduino and similar microcontrollers
• Provides an interface for an SD card to store data
• Includes onboard level shifters for 5V to 3.3V logic
• Supports FAT16 and FAT32 file systems
• Simple integration with existing Arduino libraries
• Directly stackable on top of Arduino boards

Technical Specifications:

• SD Card Type: MicroSD or SD card
• Interface: SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface)
• Operating Voltage: 5V (logic level shifting for 3.3V SD cards)
• File System: FAT16, FAT32
• Connector: Standard SD card slot
• Libraries Supported: Arduino SD library

Applications:

• Data logging and storage for sensor data
• Embedded systems with data acquisition needs
• Logging environmental conditions
• Time-stamped event recording
• Remote data collection and monitoring

Usage:

1. Stack the SD Card Data Logging Shield V1.0 onto an Arduino or compatible microcontroller.
2. Insert an SD card into the shield’s card slot.
3. Use the Arduino SD library to initialize the card and handle file operations.
4. Write and read data to/from the SD card using the library functions.

Caution:

• Ensure proper card insertion to avoid damage.
• Handle the shield and SD card with care to prevent static damage.
• Confirm compatibility with the Arduino library and SD card format.
