Compatibility
This microSD card works with any device supporting the microSD standard, including Raspberry Pi (all models), Arduino boards via SPI adapter modules, smartphones, and digital cameras. It operates at 3.3V and is compatible with common file systems. For microcontroller projects, use a level shifter if your board uses 5V logic.
Wiring Notes
When using with Arduino or similar, connect via an SPI microSD module: MOSI to pin 11, MISO to pin 12, SCK to pin 13, and CS to pin 4 (typical). Add a 10kΩ pull-up resistor on the chip select line to prevent floating. Current draw is minimal, but ensure your power supply can handle peak writes.
