#20419 Yeahhhh it's WORKING.

I can read and write files from my sd card!

How to:

Connect:
Sd-->ESP8266 201

1 CS --> IO2
2 DI(MOSI)-->IO13
3 VSS1--> GND
4 VDD-->3.3v
5 SCLK-->IO14
6 Vss2-->GND
7 DO(MISO)-->IO12

Use this schematic:

Then upload the SD Cardinfo Example included by the IDE:
Code: Select all/*
  SD card test

 This example shows how use the utility libraries on which the'
 SD library is based in order to get info about your SD card.
 Very useful for testing a card when you're not sure whether its working or not.

 The circuit:
  * SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
 ** MOSI - pin 11 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
 ** MISO - pin 12 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
 ** CLK - pin 13 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
 ** CS - depends on your SD card shield or module.
       Pin 4 used here for consistency with other Arduino examples

// include the SD library:
#include <SPI.h>
#include <SD.h>

// set up variables using the SD utility library functions:
Sd2Card card;
SdVolume volume;
SdFile root;

// change this to match your SD shield or module;
// Arduino Ethernet shield: pin 4
// Adafruit SD shields and modules: pin 10
// Sparkfun SD shield: pin 8
const int chipSelect = 2;

void setup()
{
  // Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
  }


  Serial.print("\nInitializing SD card...");

  // we'll use the initialization code from the utility libraries
  // since we're just testing if the card is working!
  if (!card.init(SPI_HALF_SPEED, chipSelect)) {
    Serial.println("initialization failed. Things to check:");
    Serial.println("* is a card inserted?");
    Serial.println("* is your wiring correct?");
    Serial.println("* did you change the chipSelect pin to match your shield or module?");
    return;
  } else {
    Serial.println("Wiring is correct and a card is present.");
  }

  // print the type of card
  Serial.print("\nCard type: ");
  switch (card.type()) {
    case SD_CARD_TYPE_SD1:
      Serial.println("SD1");
      break;
    case SD_CARD_TYPE_SD2:
      Serial.println("SD2");
      break;
    case SD_CARD_TYPE_SDHC:
      Serial.println("SDHC");
      break;
    default:
      Serial.println("Unknown");
  }

  // Now we will try to open the 'volume'/'partition' - it should be FAT16 or FAT32
  if (!volume.init(card)) {
    Serial.println("Could not find FAT16/FAT32 partition.\nMake sure you've formatted the card");
    return;
  }


  // print the type and size of the first FAT-type volume
  uint32_t volumesize;
  Serial.print("\nVolume type is FAT");
  Serial.println(volume.fatType(), DEC);
  Serial.println();

  volumesize = volume.blocksPerCluster();    // clusters are collections of blocks
  volumesize *= volume.clusterCount();       // we'll have a lot of clusters
  volumesize *= 512;                            // SD card blocks are always 512 bytes
  Serial.print("Volume size (bytes): ");
  Serial.println(volumesize);
  Serial.print("Volume size (Kbytes): ");
  volumesize /= 1024;
  Serial.println(volumesize);
  Serial.print("Volume size (Mbytes): ");
  volumesize /= 1024;
  Serial.println(volumesize);


  Serial.println("\nFiles found on the card (name, date and size in bytes): ");
  root.openRoot(volume);

  // list all files in the card with date and size
  root.ls(LS_R | LS_DATE | LS_SIZE);
}


void loop(void) {

}


BE sure to change the CS pin because the ESP8266 standard CS pin is IO15 which always has to be connected to ground!(in this case change it to 2)


If all is right, you should get this message on the serial Monitor:
Code: Select allInitializing SD card...Wiring is correct and a card is present.

Card type: SD2

Volume type is FAT32

Volume size (bytes): 1998790656
Volume size (Kbytes): 1951944
Volume size (Mbytes): 1906

Files found on the card (name, date and size in bytes):

I've used a 2gb card.


Now I'm trying to upload the SDWebserver Sketch

Stay tuned

#20444 So every sd card is running on 3.3v, so no level converter is needed.

My setup is quick but effective : I'm using a micro sd card with 2 gb. To connect that card to the esp, I just took an micro sd to standard sd adapter with header pins soldered on.

The modules on your ebay link are having level shifters soldered on. But you don't need them.

Boards like this are working:
