Micro-SD Card Reader 5V

This Micro-SD Card Reader is a SPI interface module for accessing a microSD card as external storage. It connects to a microcontroller using the chip-select (CS) plus SCK, MOSI, and MISO signals, and it is powered by VCC with GND as reference.

Width: 50.6 mm

Pinout — Micro-SD Card Reader 5V

Pin Signal Description
CS chip-select SPI chip-select for the microSD card interface, typically active low.
SCK SCK SPI serial clock from the host controller to the microSD card.
MOSI MOSI SPI data from host controller to the microSD card.
MISO MISO SPI data from the microSD card back to the host controller.
VCC power Power input for the microSD adapter module, typically 5V on this board.
GND ground Ground reference for power and SPI signals.

Example Arduino code — Micro-SD Card Reader 5V

This example was written and compile-checked for the arduino-uno. Codey Online adapts it to any other supported board for you.

#include <SPI.h>
#include <SD.h>

const int SD_CS_PIN = 10;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {
    ;
  }

  Serial.println("Initializing microSD card reader...");

  pinMode(SD_CS_PIN, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(SD_CS_PIN, HIGH);

  if (!SD.begin(SD_CS_PIN)) {
    Serial.println("Card initialization failed. Check wiring and ensure a formatted microSD card is inserted.");
    while (true) {
      delay(1000);
    }
  }

  Serial.println("Card initialized successfully.");

  File root = SD.open("/");
  if (root) {
    Serial.println("Files on the card:");
    printDirectory(root, 0);
    root.close();
  } else {
    Serial.println("Could not open root directory.");
  }
}

void loop() {
  // This example only initializes the card and lists the root directory once.
  delay(1000);
}

void printDirectory(File dir, int numTabs) {
  while (true) {
    File entry = dir.openNextFile();
    if (!entry) {
      break;
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < numTabs; i++) {
      Serial.print('\t');
    }

    Serial.print(entry.name());
    if (entry.isDirectory()) {
      Serial.println("/");
      printDirectory(entry, numTabs + 1);
    } else {
      Serial.print("\t\t");
      Serial.println(entry.size(), DEC);
    }
    entry.close();
  }
}
