Micro-SD Card Reader 3.3V

This is a 3.3V microSD card reader module that lets a microcontroller communicate with a microSD card over the SPI bus. It uses CS (chip select) along with MOSI, MISO, and CLK signals, and shares GND and a 3.3V power supply with the system.

Width: 21.2 mm

Pinout — Micro-SD Card Reader 3.3V

Pin Signal Description
3V3 power 3.3V power input for the microSD card reader; use only 3.3V logic/power.
CS chip-select SPI chip-select input for the microSD card; active low.
MOSI MOSI SPI data from host MCU to microSD card.
CLK SCK SPI clock input from the host MCU to the microSD card.
MISO MISO SPI data output from microSD card to host MCU.
GND ground Ground reference for power and SPI signals.

Example Arduino code — Micro-SD Card Reader 3.3V

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("Micro-SD Card Reader 3.3V example");
  Serial.println("Initializing SD card...");

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

  if (!SD.begin(SD_CS_PIN)) {
    Serial.println("SD card initialization failed!");
    Serial.println("Check wiring, card format, and that the module is powered correctly.");
    while (true) {
      delay(1000);
    }
  }

  Serial.println("SD 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() {
  // Simple periodic status message so you can see the sketch is running.
  Serial.println("SD card ready.");
  delay(2000);
}

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");
      Serial.println(entry.size(), DEC);
    }

    entry.close();
  }
}
