Arduino Example

Arduino SD Card Example

Write text to a microSD card.

Wiring

Check pinout, power supply, common GND and voltage levels before connecting the module.

Full code

#include <SPI.h>
#include <SD.h>

const int chipSelect = 10;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  if (!SD.begin(chipSelect)) return;
  File file = SD.open("log.txt", FILE_WRITE);
  if (file) {
    file.println("Hello from Arduino");
    file.close();
  }
}

void loop() {}

How it works

This lesson matches the page title and gives a clean starting point for this exact example.

Common mistakes

Check board selection, wiring, libraries, power supply and serial monitor baud rate.
