Using the adafruit microSD card breakout board?

Post by SkybotLivendale » Thu Nov 03, 2016 1:26 pm

Hey I was looking at using one of the micro SD card breakout boards for my SD cartridge reader.

I have one of the kitsch bent boards and wanted to know if this would work with it:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/254

I assume it would and would get rid of the need for the capacitors right? On the cartridge board, that is. Since it has a couple capacitors on the breakout.
Is there anything else I need to know?

Those caps look like power decoupling for the voltage regulator and the chip on there. I doubt it's for filtering unless the chip filters the signals which I'm uncertain of.

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.

That breakout might only work with the Ardunio, but I'm not sure.
