Adalogger FeatherWing – RTC + SD

A Feather board without ambition is a Feather board without FeatherWings. This is the Adalogger FeatherWing: it adds both a battery-backed Real Time Clock and MicroSD card storage to any Feather main board. This FeatherWing will make it real easy to add datalogging to any of our existing Feathers. You get both an I2C Real Time Clock (PCF8523) with 32KHz crystal and battery backup, and a MicroSD socket that connects to the SPI port pins.

MicroSD Card

If you have a project with any audio, video, graphics, data logging, etc in it, you’ll find that having a removable storage option is essential. Most microcontrollers have extremely limited built-in storage. If you’re doing any sort of data logging, graphics or audio, you’ll need at least a megabyte of storage, and 64M is probably the minimum.

MicroSD cards are ‘raw’ storage. They’re just sectors in a flash chip, there’s no structure that you have to use. That means you could format an SD card to be a Linux filesystem, a FAT (DOS) filesystem or a Mac filesystem. You could also not have any filesystem at all. However, 99% of computers, cameras, MP3 players, GPS loggers, etc require FAT16 or FAT32 for the filesystem. The tradeoff here is that for smaller microcontrollers the addition of the complex file format handling can take a lot of flash storage and RAM.
