## Description

The SparkFun microSD Shield gives your Arduino mass-storage capability via a microSD card slot, making it ideal for data-logging and projects that need to read or write files. Communication with the microSD card uses the SPI interface. The SCK, DI, and DO pins connect to the ATmega168/328's standard SPI pins (digital 11–13), while the chip select (CS) pin is routed to digital pin D8. A large 13×12 prototyping area with 0.1″ pitch plated through-holes provides plenty of space for additional circuitry. Key Features microSD Card Slot – Add removable mass storage to any Arduino project SPI Interface – Uses digital pins 11–13 for SPI, D8 for chip select Prototyping Area – 13×12 grid of 0.1″ pitch PTHs for custom circuitry Power LED – Red indicator confirms the shield is powered Reset Button – Convenient on-board reset access Note: Most Arduino SD/FAT libraries (such as FAT16 or SDFat) default to CS on pin D10. You will need to change the CS pin to D8 in your code and set D8 as an output in your setup() function. Ideal For Data logging (sensor readings, GPS tracks, environmental monitoring) File storage and retrieval on Arduino projects Prototyping with the built-in PTH grid Package Contents 1× SparkFun microSD Shield (headers not included — see the Arduino Stackable Header Kit) Resources Hookup Guide GitHub Repository
