Altitude Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Thought I'd share this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1x-SD-Card-Module-mini-reader-socket-module-/170826337065?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160 I just snapped up a couple of these and it should be an easy connection to a Core board (will report back confirming that). They have a 3.3V/5V switch, regulator, and a micro SD slot on the back. I like these a lot better than some of the other aurdino one since they have the holes on the side of the slot like seppomans board did so mounting it to the panel via L brackets is possible These DO NOT work out of the box, the transistor buffers screw things up for some reason and need to be removed like here. I used 0 ohm 0603 resistors but a piece of lead wire will work fine. Once this is done, it works fine.

slo Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Did it hook up nicely?, been looking for readers myself and only come up with the aurdino ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 not yet, but there isnt anything there that would make me think it wont work.. I mainly chose it for the mounting holes on the side so it can be easily mounted with L brackets to a panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Looks nice, but is a bit pricy :pinch: - but convenient, I admit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blingy Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I have one in the mail, I will post results if I beat Altitude to it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slo Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Same thing even cheaper, free shipping http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10000002/1000600-sd-card-breakout-board-33v5v George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuriken Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) Same thing even cheaper, free shipping http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10000002/1000600-sd-card-breakout-board-33v5v George This one is missing the mounting holes at the front. The one Alitude has linked is cheaper here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SD-Micro-SD-Card-Breakout-Module-5V-3-3V-Compatible-e-/281116152546?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4173d412e2 Edited August 4, 2013 by Shuriken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 This one is missing the mounting holes at the front. that's a deal breaker imho.. The one I linked was the only one I found that could be panel mounted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blingy Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I didn't remove the transistors but mine works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 hmm. What core? I tried 2 that I had with seqv4l and lpc17 and both didnt work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blingy Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Lpc17 core Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosch Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 have you tried with Ambika? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 have you tried with Ambika? Ambika has the SD slot on the mainboard, this wouldn't be needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosch Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) in my case i need it, since i make mine in a 1U rack case and like to bring it to the front. this one with holes would be more convenient than the sparkfun i have that requires cable tie mounting. i'll come to finish Ambika soon, then i'll try with transistors first. they're easily wiped off if i need to mod. the greater problem at least for me is that i'm not sure which pads on ambika go to which pin (different number of pins with the sparkfun, haven't checked this one yet) Edited September 16, 2013 by rosch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Ah, in your case you probably want them on since they serve as a line buffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosch Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 perfect :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuriken Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I can confirm this is still a good option. I recently ordered two boards from above buyer. Connected the board without removing buffers to LPC17 and i could see the sdcard being formated in MIOS Studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
