As a gesture of improving international relations (or perhaps it’s just a personal weakness) I will spell it both ways, although I tend to lean towards adapter. Let’s not get hung up on the semantics of language usage. Whether you spell it adapter or adaptor, it means the same thing. SD card adapter or adaptor.įirst the elephant in the room. I've written this short explanation as part of the much larger book ' Raspberry Pi Pico Tips and Tricks'. SPI mode is perfect if we’re writing short amounts of data to a file (e.g. We can use SD cards in Serial Peripheral (SPI) mode which allows us to rely on easy to use SPI peripherals and libraries for communication. SD cards are great for storing logging and data from microcontroller projects that can then be read on a computer. To make this function practical we can use an SD card for expanding storage via an adapter.

This is a useful function when using the Pico for tasks such as data logging. The Raspberry Pi Pico is a very capable device, but it lacks the ability to store sizeable amounts of data on the board. Connecting an SD Card to the Raspberry Pi Pico
