The µDRIVE-uSD-G1 is an extremely compact and an ideal companion module that can be easily interfaced to any microcontroller that requires a "Disk Drive" data storage system. Most microcontrollers are limited by the available onboard memory for those applications that require large volumes of data. The µDRIVE-uSD-G1 takes that burden away from the host controller by allowing data transfers to-and-from via a simple serial interface.

A handful of straightforward commands provide direct access to the onboard micro-SD memory card for storing and retrieving any size or type of binary data. Applications can range from Data Logging, Program Storage, Music files, Image files, Video Clips or any general purpose data storage. So next time your PIC, AVR, ARM, STAMP, Propeller or any other microcontroller application requires data storage, the µDRIVE-uSD-G1 maybe the ideal solution.

Features

A general purpose data storage device with a simple serial interface that can interface to any microcontroller in a wide range of embedded applications.
Ideal companion peripheral that can be used like a "Disk Drive" for your next embedded project.
Ideal for those applications that require Data Logging, Program Storage, Music files, Image files, Video Clips or any general purpose raw Data Storage.
Onboard micro-SD (µSD) memory card adaptor that can accommodate 64Mb to 2Gig memory cards. Memory cards can be purchased separately.
A handful of simplified commands provide reads and writes of data blocks from a single byte in size to 512 bytes of sectors.
