SD card Module

The SD Card Module is a compact and efficient solution for adding storage capabilities to your microcontroller or development board projects. It allows you to read from and write to SD cards, making it ideal for data logging, file storage, and other applications requiring large amounts of memory. The module supports various SD card formats and interfaces seamlessly with popular microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and others.

Key Features:

• Storage: Supports SD, SDHC, and MicroSD (with adapter) cards
• Interface: SPI interface for easy integration
• Voltage Compatibility: Operates at 3.3V and 5V
• Onboard 3.3V Regulator: Ensures stable operation
• Card Detection: Built-in card detection switch
• Compact Design: Small footprint for easy incorporation into projects
• File System: Compatible with FAT16 and FAT32 file systems

Technical Specifications:

• Supported Cards: SD, SDHC, MicroSD (with adapter)
• Operating Voltage: 3.3V/5V
• Interface: SPI
• Current Consumption: < 100mA
• File System: FAT16, FAT32
• Dimensions: 42mm x 24mm x 12mm

Applications:

• Data Logging: Store sensor data and logs in embedded systems.
• File Storage: Save files for multimedia applications and projects.
• Firmware Updates: Load new firmware from the SD card for microcontrollers.
• DIY Projects: Perfect for hobbyists needing additional storage.
• Educational Projects: Commonly used in learning modules for data storage and retrieval.

Usage:

1. Wiring: Connect the SD card module to your microcontroller using the SPI interface (CS, MOSI, MISO, SCK, VCC, GND).
2. Power Supply: Ensure the module is powered with 3.3V or 5V, as required.
3. Card Insertion: Insert a formatted SD card into the module.
4. Programming: Use libraries (e.g., SD library for Arduino) to initialize the SD card and read/write data.
5. Data Handling: Store or retrieve data files from the SD card as needed by your application.

Caution:

• Voltage Levels: Ensure proper voltage levels to avoid damaging the module.
• Handling SD Cards: Handle SD cards with care to prevent data loss or corruption.
