Arduino Data-Logger Shield with the FRDM-KL25Z Board
Here’s a great project from Erich Styger that shows how he interfaced the Adafruit Data-Logger Shield with the Freescale Freedom Board, via Element14:
One success factor of the Arduino platform is the broad availability so-called ‘shields’: hardware plugin-modules which extend the capability of platform. Shieldlist.org currently lists 288 different shields available! Clearly, Freescale wants to benefit from that ecosystem with the Freedom FRDM-KL25Z board which features Arduino compatible headers. Time to use the Freedom board with an Arduino shield. I ordered a the Adafruit Data Logger Shield as a kit: to solder such a kit is fun, and gives me the freedom what to put on the board.

Adafruit Data logging shield for Arduino – v1.0: Here’s a handy Arduino shield: we’ve had a lot of people looking for a dedicated and well-designed data logging shield. We worked hard to engineer an inexpensive but well-rounded design. Not only is it easy to assemble and customize, it also comes with great documentation and libraries. You can get going quickly – saving data to files on any FAT16 or FAT32 formatted SD card, to be read by any plotting, spreadsheet or analysis program. We even have a tutorial on how to use two free software programs to plot your data. The included Real Time Clock timestamps all your data with the current time, so that you know precisely what happened when! (Read more).
