We saw a tweet from @GregDavill a few weeks ago about these neat ‘SD Card on a Chip’ devices and decided to pick some up. They work great! Note that this is NOT an SPI NOR flash chip, it emulates the SD Card block-based interface. This particular model is 512MB and has SOIC-compatible packaging. After soldering to a breakout, we ran Arduino SDFat on a Feather M4 wired up to it and it shows up as a FAT16-formatted drive! You can use these in SPI or SDIO mode. We’re going to make a quickly level-shifted breakout for this chip so you can use it safely with 3V or 5V logic. Great for when you want a ton of storage, with a well supported API, and want the size or mechanical benefits of an SMT component – video.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
