5. Overview
VMA202
A dedicated and well-designed data logging shield for Arduino
®
.
The SD card interface works with FAT16 or FAT32 formatted cards. The 3.3 V level shifter circuitry prevents
damage to your SD card.
The real-time clock (RTC) keeps the time going even when the Arduino
®
is unplugged. The battery back-up
lasts for years.
Works with Arduino
®
Uno, Duemilanove, Diecimila, Leonardo or ADK/Mega R3 or higher. ADK/Mega R2 or
lower are not supported.
back-up battery ............................................................................. 1 x CR1220 battery (incl.)
dimensions ............................................................................................... 43 x 17 x 9 mm
6. Testing
1. Plug your VMA202 into your Arduino
®
Uno (VMA100).
2. Insert a formatted SD card (FAT16 or FAT32) into the slot.
6.1 Testing the SD Card
1. In the Arduino
®
IDE, open the sample sketch [Cardinfo].
2. Your VMA202 uses chipSelect 10 instead of chipSelect 4. Change line 36 in the sketch to:
const int chipSelect = 10;
