Description of HiLetgo Stackable SD Card Shield Module with 📷 SD/TF/Micro SD Card Reader for Arduino UNO R3 MEGA2560

This SD card shield is a standard SD card / TF card break out board for Arduino. The SD card shield adds storage to your Arduino project. Stackable SD Card Shield is a stackable design SD / TF card expansion board. It supports direct insertion in the Arduino board to extend SD / TF read and write functions. SD / TF card expansion board uses the hardware ISP interface, so only supports SIP mode SD / TF card. This expansion board uses only a handful of pins, so the stack design allows you to plug in another expansion board on this board, provided that the same SPI pins are not used, such as Bluetooth expansion board, GPRS expansion board. Many electronic enthusiasts have provided a simple documentation program for Arduino. And we provide a simple TinyFAT file system library, you can easily achieve control SD / TF card reader - this library only supports FAT16 small capacity card, such as 1G card, if you need to support FAT32, you can use Official library for Arduino.

I plugged it in, loaded the SD card library and it worked!

I downloaded the standard Arduino Uno SD card script using the Arduino IDE program available from the Microsoft Store (a free download for Windows 10). All you have to do is find the SD library, download this script and it worked for me with a 1GB SD card.

Pros
  • Awesome
Cons
  • Not sure

Plug and play into computer accessories and peripherals

I just dropped it on the alignment of the 5v and ground pins and everything else found its place. I have an Elegoo Mega2560 with my digital pens only labeled with numbers and the label has a "D" in front of the letters which is a slight difference. All of the Arduino IDE examples for SD cards work without modifications. .

Pros
  • Not just useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Works perfectly out of the box with my Mega 2560

Was very glad it worked with the standard Arduino sketch. I looked at the traces on the board and the chip select is 4, looked at the sketch and it already had 4 since the chip select was already there. Mine has a switch for TF/SD. SD is for a full size SD slot while TF is for smaller SD cards. It requires no instructions, it works exactly as configured by default.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Wrinkled

Great Product: Memory Card Accessory

3 years ago I bought a Radio Shack Camera Shield 2760248 and an SD Shield. Little did I know that this old SD shield would only work with old SD cards (no SDHC and FAT32 cards) no larger than 4GB. Where can you find SD cards that are 4GB or less? I had a lot of SD and micro SD cards. This new SD Shield 3.0 now supports all my SD cards. There is a new Arduino library. Instead of "sdFat.h" I add "SD.h" and it just works. Works perfectly.

Pros
  • Pleases
Cons
  • Weight

Works best in card readers

As others have said, this product should definitely come with basic documentation, at least a note card with configuration settings. It has a few jumpers that need to be set correctly, as well as a switch that needs to be in the correct position depending on the Arduino model you are using. If you pull out the SD card while it is in the reader, you can easily pull it out, so be careful. Note that the SCA and SLA connectors are shielded when attached, but you can put a curved jumper in them…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Good, but not great

Setup guides are hard to find but good cheap board

With guide the setup is very easy unfortunately it took me an hour to find a good guide for version 3.0 of this SD shield : I found them by googling "SD Shield 3.0" and click on the iTEAD wiki link. Henceforth, this wiki page will be referred to as "how-to wiki". To summarize: - Install an SD shield on every Arduino you have. Using the labels on the shield and the Arduino, make sure the pins match. - Use the "Compatibility" section of the how-to wiki to find out what position the 3.3v/5v…

Pros
  • delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Sad hardware
