Pin Configuration

  • Micro SD Card Adapter Documentation
  • The Micro SD Card Adapter is a small printed circuit board (PCB) that allows you to connect a micro SD card to a device or a development board, enabling the use of micro SD cards as a storage medium. The adapter typically has a simple interface with a limited number of pins. Here is a detailed explanation of each pin and how to connect them:
  • Pinout:
  • The Micro SD Card Adapter usually has 8 pins, which are arranged in two rows of 4 pins each. The pins are labeled as follows:
  • Row 1:
  • 1. VCC (Power Supply): This pin provides power to the micro SD card. Typically, it should be connected to a 3.3V power supply. Make sure to check the voltage rating of your micro SD card before powering it.
  • 2. CLK (Clock Signal): This pin transmits the clock signal to the micro SD card, which is used to synchronize data transfer. Connect this pin to a digital output pin on your microcontroller or development board.
  • 3. CMD (Command Signal): This pin is used to send commands to the micro SD card, such as read, write, and erase operations. Connect this pin to a digital output pin on your microcontroller or development board.
  • 4. VSS (Ground): This pin provides a ground connection for the micro SD card. Connect it to a ground pin on your microcontroller or development board.
  • Row 2:
  • 5. D0 (Data Line 0): This pin is one of the data lines used for data transfer between the micro SD card and the host device. Connect this pin to a digital input/output pin on your microcontroller or development board.
  • 6. D1 (Data Line 1): This pin is another data line used for data transfer. Connect this pin to a digital input/output pin on your microcontroller or development board.
  • 7. D2 (Data Line 2): This pin is the third data line used for data transfer. Connect this pin to a digital input/output pin on your microcontroller or development board.
  • 8. D3 (Data Line 3): This pin is the fourth and final data line used for data transfer. Connect this pin to a digital input/output pin on your microcontroller or development board.
  • Connection Structure:
  • To connect the Micro SD Card Adapter to your device or development board, follow these steps:
  • Connect the VCC pin to a 3.3V power supply pin on your device or development board.
  • Connect the GND pin to a ground pin on your device or development board.
  • Connect the CLK pin to a digital output pin on your device or development board that can provide a clock signal.
  • Connect the CMD pin to a digital output pin on your device or development board that can send commands to the micro SD card.
  • Connect the D0, D1, D2, and D3 pins to digital input/output pins on your device or development board that can handle data transfer.
  • Important Notes:
  • Make sure to check the pinout of your specific Micro SD Card Adapter, as it may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
  • Always use a level shifter or voltage regulator if your device or development board operates at a voltage different from 3.3V.
  • Handle the micro SD card adapter with care, as the pins are fragile and can be easily damaged.
  • By following this documentation, you should be able to connect the Micro SD Card Adapter to your device or development board and start using micro SD cards as a storage medium.

#include <SD.h>
// Pin definitions
const int CS_PIN = 5; // Chip Select pin for the SD card
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(CS_PIN, OUTPUT);
// Initialize the SD card
  if (!SD.begin(CS_PIN)) {
    Serial.println("Initialization failed!");
    while (1);
  }
  Serial.println("SD card initialized successfully!");
}
void loop() {
  // Write data to the SD card
  File dataFile = SD.open("data.txt", FILE_WRITE);
  if (dataFile) {
    dataFile.println("Hello, world!");
    dataFile.close();
    Serial.println("Data written to SD card.");
  } else {
    Serial.println("Error writing to SD card.");
  }
// Read data from the SD card
  File readFile = SD.open("data.txt", FILE_READ);
  if (readFile) {
    while (readFile.available()) {
      Serial.write(readFile.read());
    }
    readFile.close();
    Serial.println("Data read from SD card.");
  } else {
    Serial.println("Error reading from SD card.");
  }
delay(1000);
}
```
### Example 2: Using the Micro SD Card Adapter with Raspberry Pi (Python)
This example demonstrates how to use the Micro SD Card Adapter with a Raspberry Pi single-board computer to read and write data to a micro SD card using Python.

Code
```python
import os
# Mount the SD card
os.system("sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt")
# Write data to the SD card
with open("/mnt/data.txt", "w") as f:
    f.write("Hello, world!
")
print("Data written to SD card.")
# Read data from the SD card
with open("/mnt/data.txt", "r") as f:
    print(f.read())
print("Data read from SD card.")
# Unmount the SD card
os.system("sudo umount /mnt")
```
Note: Make sure to replace `/dev/mmcblk0p1` with the correct device path for your micro SD card.
