Micro SD Card Module Supports Micro SD Card, Micro SDHC card (high-speed card). The level conversion circuit board that can interface level is 5V or 3.3V. The communication interface is a standard SPI interface
Control Interface: A total of six pins (GND, VCC, MISO, MOSI, SCK, CS), GND to ground, VCC is the power supply, MISO, MOSI, SCK is the SPI bus, CS is the chip select signal pin; 3.3V regulator circuit: LDO regulator output 3.3V as level converter chip, Micro SD card supply.
MicroSD card toward the direction of the control interface MISO signal is also converted to 3.3V, general AVR microcontroller system can read the signal;
I was working on a project that involved the use of an SD (Secure Digital) card to log data into a text file. I chose Arduino as it had a vary stable FAT (File Allocation Table) library. I had an Arduino Mega at my disposal and built a resistive network to step down the logic levels of the Arduino SPI bus at 5v to the SD card’s at 3v3. I was getting voltage levels that were withing the absolute maximum ratings of the SD card.
I have some experience with Arduino in the past (all good ones), and I expected things to work out of the box. But to my surprise I was mistaken. When I burned one of the example sketch to check the Card Info, I got this error “SD card initialization failed”.Initializing SD card initialization failed. Things to check:
Then after some research I discovered that, the Arduino SD library is just a colorful wrapper for the SDfatlib, and the actual library has much more options and can be used to debug properly. When I tested the quick start sketch form the newly installed library, I got this error message,
I read in some forum posts that the resistive network introduces a latency in the SPI bus and could be the reason for the problem. So I decided to buy a low cost W5100 Ethernet shield which has an SD card slot (Image of which is featured in the heading of this post).
Most of the Ethernet shields have SD card slot, it would be pointless buying one without it. But again the problem was not solved. It took me a while to find out the solution.
The solution to this problem, is that you have to let digital Pin 10 as output (for the SD library to work) and put out a logic HIGH by adding “digitalWrite(10,HIGH);”. For Arduino Mega you have to do exactly the same ignore pin 53 completely though the comment asks you to change it to 53.
Good news is that you can add this line to all the code and it works perfectly fine (atleast for me). I hope this solves the “SD Card Initialization Failed” problem. If you notice any other problem please leave a comment and I will get back to you.
In this guide we’re going to show you how you can use the 1.8 TFT display with the Arduino. You’ll learn how to wire the display, write text, draw shapes and display images on the screen.
The 1.8 TFT is a colorful display with 128 x 160 color pixels. The display can load images from an SD card – it has an SD card slot at the back. The following figure shows the screen front and back view.
This module uses SPI communication – see the wiring below . To control the display we’ll use the TFT library, which is already included with Arduino IDE 1.0.5 and later.
The TFT display communicates with the Arduino via SPI communication, so you need to include the SPI library on your code. We also use the TFT library to write and draw on the display.
The 1.8 TFT display can load images from the SD card. To read from the SD card you use the SD library, already included in the Arduino IDE software. Follow the next steps to display an image on the display:
Note: some people find issues with this display when trying to read from the SD card. We don’t know why that happens. In fact, we tested a couple of times and it worked well, and then, when we were about to record to show you the final result, the display didn’t recognized the SD card anymore – we’re not sure if it’s a problem with the SD card holder that doesn’t establish a proper connection with the SD card. However, we are sure these instructions work, because we’ve tested them.
In this guide we’ve shown you how to use the 1.8 TFT display with the Arduino: display text, draw shapes and display images. You can easily add a nice visual interface to your projects using this display.
In this tutorial, we will learn to use of SD Card Module with an Arduino microcontroller to read, write, store data or make a data logger. We can use the SD Card Module to add the desired memory to the Arduino project to store the data, Media, etc.
The Micro SD Card Reader Module is also called a Micro SD Adaptor. The Module is a simple solution for transferring data to and from a standard SD card. Hence, the tutorial covers the reading of SD Card info and the method to read and write data to SD Card.
Similarly, Building a data logger using Arduino and SD Card is so easy. The DHT11 sensor is used to sense the relative humidity & temperature and the SD card is used to save the values of the humidity and the temperature every 1 second in txt format.
The SD card module is especially useful for projects that require data logging. There are actually two ways to interface with micro SD cards – SPI mode and SDIO mode. Hobbyists like us prefer SPI Mode for interfacing as it’s easy compared to SDO mode which is very complex.
The operating voltage of micro SD Cards is 3.3 V. Therefore, we cannot SD Card directly with 5V logic. But the module has an onboard ultra-low dropout regulator that converts voltages from 3.3V – 6V down to ~3.3V. There is also a Logic Level converter IC 74LVC125A on the module which converts the interface logic from 3.3V-5V to 3.3V.
To format the SD card, insert it into your computer. Go to My Computer and right-click on the SD card. A new window pops up. Select FAT32 as a Formatting option. Then press Start to initialize the formatting process
Now let us learn interfacing of SD Card Module with Arduino to read & write data or to make a data logger. Since the SD Card Module works on SPI Communication protocol, thus we need to connect it to SPI Pin of Arduino Board.
Connect the SD Card Module to Arduino as per the above Circuit Diagram. For Arduino boards like UNO/Nano, the SPI pins are 13 (SCK), 12 (MISO) and 11 (MOSI).
To make sure everything is wired correctly and the SD card is working properly, upload the following code to the Arduino Board.Make sure you have the right board and COM port selected.
Let us learn how you can read and write the data to SD Card with Arduino microcontroller. The SD library provides useful functions for easily write in and read from the SD card.
This indicates reading writing is done successfully. If you want to check about the files on SD Card, then you can open the SD Card file on your computer and see the following data in txt format.
Building a data logger using Arduino and SD Card is so easy. This tutorial explains how to build a simple temperature and humidity data logger with a DHT11 sensor.
The DHT11 Sensor is used to sense the relative humidity and temperature and the SD card is used to save the values of the humidity and the temperature every 1 second. The values of the temperature and humidity are saved in .TXT file on the SD card.
Open the SD Card on windows using the Card Reader. Then open the txt file for the data logger. You will see the following data of temperature and humidity logged on the text file.
