Frequently Asked Questions

Which Arduino boards are compatible with this Data Logger Shield?

This shield is designed for compatibility with Arduino Uno, Duemilanove, Diecimila, Leonardo, and Mega R3 or higher. Older versions like ADK/Mega R2 or lower are explicitly not supported, ensuring broad yet specific compatibility for modern Arduino projects and development.

What type of SD cards does the shield support, and how is card protection ensured?

The shield supports both FAT16 and FAT32 formatted SD cards. It integrates 3.3V level shifter circuitry to prevent voltage damage to the SD card, critical when interfacing with 5V Arduino boards. This ensures reliable and safe data storage operations.

Does this shield include a Real-Time Clock (RTC), and what is its purpose?

Yes, the shield includes a Real-Time Clock (RTC) functionality, essential for timestamping recorded data accurately. This allows for precise chronological logging, crucial for applications requiring sequential data analysis. Note that the battery for the RTC is not included.

How is stable power provided for the SD card and overall shield operation?

An onboard 3.3V regulator is included, serving two primary functions: it reliably powers the SD card, which can draw significant current, and provides a stable 3.3V reference voltage for other components on the shield, enhancing system stability and data integrity.
