Hi. For a part of my project, I need to store data from a Pi to a microSD card using this SD card breakout board. Can I use a USB to SPI bridge like this? Or any other USB to SPI converter? Basically I need the Pi to recognize a microSD card inside the previously mentioned SD card breakout board as storage.
Thanks for your help.
Hi dextbgen,
Welcome to the RobotShop forums.
Yes, you can use the USB to SPI bridge with the SD card breakout board. But, you may want to consider connecting the SD breakout board directly to the Pi instead.
The Raspberry Pi includes one SPI port with two chip select (CS). You can connect the SD breakout board directly to the headers of the Pi.
You can read more details about it here:
raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/spi/README.md
Hope this helps.
