Data Logging Shield with SD Card Slot and Real-Time Clock

Description:

• Data Logging Shield with SD Card Slot and Real-Time Clock
• The SD card interface is compatible with FAT16 or FAT32 formatted cards.
• 3.3V level shifter circuitry prevents damage to your SD card
• The real-time clock (RTC) keeps the time running even when the Arduino is unplugged.
• Battery backup lasts for years—ideal for prototyping areas, such as soldering connectors, circuitry, or sensors.
• Note: PCB colour can change.

Note: ADK/Mega R2 or lower are not supported.

Here we have a Data logging shield for your Arduino. This unit comes fully assembled and ready to use.

Now you can easily save data to a FAT16 or FAT32 formatted SD card, and the included real-time clock will timestamp all your data with the current time.

The onboard 3.3V regulator is both a reliable reference voltage and reliably runs SD cards that require a lot of power to operate.

What is an Arduino Shield?

Arduino shields are boards that are plugged onto the Arduino board to expand its functionalities.

For example, Ethernet shields are used to connect the Arduino board to the Internet. The positions of the shields are similar to those of the Arduino boards.

Arduino is an open-source hardware and software company, as well as a project and user community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for building digital devices. Its hardware products are licensed under a CC-BY-SA license. In contrast, the software is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) or the GNU General Public License (GPL), allowing anyone to manufacture Arduino boards and distribute software. Arduino boards are available commercially from the official website or through authorised distributors.

Arduino board designs

Use a variety of microprocessors and controllers. The boards are equipped with sets of digital and analogue input/output (I/O) pins that can be interfaced with various expansion boards (‘shields’), breadboards (for prototyping), and other circuits. The boards feature serial communications interfaces, including Universal Serial Bus (USB) on some models, which are also used for loading programs. Microcontrollers can be programmed using the C and C++ programming languages, utilising a standard API also known as the “Arduino language”. In addition to using traditional compiler toolchains, the Arduino project offers an integrated development environment (IDE) and a command-line tool, Arduino CLI, both of which are developed in Go.

What year did Arduino begin?

The Arduino project began in 2005 as a tool for students at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea in Ivrea, Italy, aiming to provide a low-cost and easy way for novices and professionals to create devices that interact with their environment using sensors and actuators. Typical examples of such devices intended for beginner hobbyists include simple robots, thermostats and motion detectors.

Where did the name come from?

The name Arduino originates from a bar in Ivrea, Italy, where some of the project’s founders used to meet. The bar was named after Arduin of Ivrea, who was the margrave of the March of Ivrea and King of Italy from 1002 to 1014.
