Design with SD-CARD-READER-2PINS in Cirkit DesignerThe SD-CARD-READER-2PINS is a compact and efficient device designed for reading and writing data to SD cards. With its minimal two-pin interface, it simplifies integration into electronic circuits, making it an ideal choice for projects requiring data storage or retrieval. This component is widely used in applications such as data logging, multimedia storage, and portable devices.
This circuit consists of an Arduino UNO connected to an SD card module. The Arduino provides power and ground to the SD module and interfaces with it using SPI communication through digital pins D10 (CS), D11 (MOSI), D12 (MISO), and D13 (SCK). The setup is intended for reading from or writing to an SD card using the Arduino.

This is an RFID tag reading system. An Arduino UNO is interfaced with an RFID-RC522 module using digital pins D5, D10, D11, and D13 through resistors, with direct MISO connection to D12. The system is designed to read RFID tags and handle the data with the Arduino.

This circuit features an Arduino UNO R4 WiFi microcontroller connected to a Micro SD Card Module for data storage, a BNO055 sensor for orientation data, and three red LEDs for indication purposes. The LEDs are controlled by digital pins D2, D3, and D4, and can be turned on or off using a single-pole single-throw (SPST) toggle switch connected to their common cathodes and ground. The BNO055 sensor interfaces with the Arduino via I2C communication using the SDA and SCL pins, and the Micro SD Card Module is interfaced using SPI with chip select on pin D10 and data lines on pins D11 (MOSI), D12 (MISO), and D13 (SCK).

This circuit features an ESP32 microcontroller connected to an RFID-RC522 module and an OLED display. The ESP32 communicates with the RFID reader via SPI (using pins D23, D22, D18, and D5 for MOSI, MISO, SCK, and SDA respectively) and with the OLED display through I2C (using pins D4 and D15 for SCL and SDA). All devices share a common ground and are powered by the ESP32's 3.3V output, indicating the circuit is likely used for RFID tag reading and data display on the OLED.
Open Project in Cirkit DesignerThe SD-CARD-READER-2PINS features a simple two-pin interface for easy connection. Below is the pin configuration:
| Pin | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DATA | Data line for SPI communication |
| 2 | GND | Ground connection for power and signals |
Note: The DATA pin combines multiple SPI signals (MOSI, MISO, and SCK) internally, simplifying the connection but requiring proper software handling.
Below is an example of how to use the SD-CARD-READER-2PINS with an Arduino UNO:
#include <SPI.h>
#include <SD.h>
// Define the pin connected to the SD-CARD-READER-2PINS
#define SD_DATA_PIN 10
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
// Initialize the SD card
if (!SD.begin(SD_DATA_PIN)) {
Serial.println("SD card initialization failed!");
return;
}
Serial.println("SD card initialized successfully.");
// Create or open a file on the SD card
File dataFile = SD.open("example.txt", FILE_WRITE);
// Check if the file opened successfully
if (dataFile) {
dataFile.println("Hello, SD card!");
dataFile.close(); // Always close the file after writing
Serial.println("Data written to SD card.");
} else {
Serial.println("Error opening file on SD card.");
}
}
void loop() {
// Nothing to do here
}
Note: Ensure the
SD_DATA_PINmatches the pin used for the DATA connection on your Arduino UNO.
