Technical Specifications

How to Use

Using the SD Card Reader Module is effortless, whether you're employing a module micro sd arduino or other setups. Connect the module to your microcontroller using its SPI interface pins (GND, VCC, MISO, MOSI, SCK, CS), as seen in many sd card module with arduino projects. Ensure your power supply is within 4.5V to 5.5V, suitable for arduino microsd card reader modules. Place an SD card into the reader slot, and initiate SPI communication as per your microcontroller's specifications. For Arduino, use libraries like 'SD' or 'SDFat' to read/write to the card. Ensure connections are secure before providing power. Here's an example circuit connection diagram:

• GND: Connect to ground
• VCC: Connect to power supply
• MISO: Connect to microcontroller’s MISO pin
• MOSI: Connect to microcontroller’s MOSI pin
• SCK: Connect to microcontroller’s SCK pin
• CS: Connect to a digital pin (often pin 10)
