Overview

The ASD2201-R is a specialized microSD card adapter designed for the ultra-compact TinyDuino platform. It provides a standardized SPI interface for local data storage and retrieval in space-constrained embedded projects. The board is designed to stack directly within the TinyDuino ecosystem, maintaining a minimal 20mm x 20mm footprint.

Why Choose This Part

The board features a high-quality Molex microSD connector with a push-push mechanism for reliable card retention. It supports a wide input voltage range from 3V to 5.5V, ensuring compatibility with various battery chemistry and power supply configurations used in the TinyDuino stack.

Applications

Environmental Data Logging
Storing time-stamped sensor readings from temperature, humidity, or pressure sensors for later analysis.
Configuration Storage
Saving user settings or calibration constants that need to persist across power cycles without using internal EEPROM.
Portable Media Playback
Serving as a storage source for small audio files or bitmap images for display on TinyDuino visual modules.

Getting Started

Connect the shield to a TinyShield processor board and use the standard Arduino SD library for software development. Ensure your power supply can handle peak currents of 100mA or more during SD card write operations. The module communicates over the SPI bus using a dedicated chip select line available in the TinyDuino pinout.
