This is a unique board recommended by a SparkFun customer. When playing with microSD, you sometimes need to view what the SPI traffic is doing, whether for hacking or debugging. The microSD Sniffer allows you to hook up an external device, such as a logic analyzer or microcontroller, to view what signals are being passed back and forth. Insert one side into a regular uSD socket and a uSD card into the on-board socket, simple as that.
Add tons of storage to your next project with this micro SD card socket. Adafruit use this part in all Adafruit's designs and it works great with any microSD ('transflash') of...
This is an awesome little microSD USB reader. Just slide your microSD card into the inside of the USB connector, then stick this into a USB port and the card’s contents will pop up on your computer. Very sneaky - we love it! This little guy is great for pulling data logs off microSD media. This reader also includes an indicator LED which will light up if a microSD card is present. This device is completely plug-and-play, so no drivers needed.
This simple board breaks out the pins of a microSD card connector to a 0.1″ pin spacing that is compatible with standard perfboards, solderless breadboards, and 0.1" connectors.
Not just a simple breakout board, this microSD adapter goes the extra mile - designed for ease of use. Onboard 5v->3v regulator provides 150mA for power-hungry cards...
Breakout board for the microSD socket that is not much bigger than your fingernail. Compatible with the SPI interface found on any SD card, this tiny form factor was created for cell phone storage and is perfect for your next MP3 project! Board comes fully assembled and tested.
This is a Micro SD(TF) module from DFRobot. It is compatible with TF SD card (commonly used in Mobile Phone) which is the most tiny card in the market. SD module has various applications such as data logger, audio, video, graphics.
The SparkFun Level Shifting microSD Breakout is quite similar to the SparkFun microSD Transflash Breakout, but with the included level shifting hardware, this board allows you to utilize a microSD card at Arduino’s SD library’s top speed on a 5V system. With this small breakout board, that is not much bigger than your fingernail, adding mass storage to your project will never be easier.
Mary Poppins had her TARDIS-like carpet bag. 90s kids had their Pokémon card binders. But Adafruit have the next best thing: DiMeCard, a super-slim 8-piece microSD storage...
This short-style white microSD adapter slides in where the SD card goes but is 11mm shorter (excluding the silver lip). This makes it stick out a lot less...
The A-Star 32U4 Prime SV is a programmable board based on the ATmega32U4 AVR microcontroller and arranged in the common Arduino form factor. The A-Star Prime offers many additional features and improvements over competing products, including superior power management that enables efficient operation from 5 V to 36 V. This configuration of the A-Star 32U4 Prime SV includes microSD support and preinstalled female headers common to many Arduinos.
The A-Star 32U4 Prime LV is a programmable board based on the ATmega32U4 AVR microcontroller and arranged in the common Arduino form factor. The A-Star Prime offers many additional features and improvements over competing products, including superior power management that enables efficient operation from 2 V to 16 V (though it requires at least 3 V at start-up). This configuration of the A-Star 32U4 Prime LV includes microSD support and does not include any through-hole components; it is intended for those who want to customize the way it is assembled.
