Description
- Data logging shield for Arduino Uno R3 USB Microcontroller that uses the Arduino SD and RTC libraries
- Features a stackable headers, a back-up battery for RTC and a reset button
- Prototyping area (102 solder pads) for soldering connectors, circuitry or sensors
- Works with FAT16 or FAT32 formatted cards
- With onboard 3.3 V regulator to run SD cards that require a lot of power
The Data Logging Shield for Arduino is a dedicated and well-designed data logging shield for Arduino. Its SD card interface works with FAT16 or FAT32 formatted cards. The 3.3 v level shifter circuitry prevents damage to your SD card. Also, the real-time clock (RTC) keeps the time going even when the Arduino is unplugged.
It works with Arduino Mega 2560 Microcontroller Rev3
- 43 x 17 x 9 mm
- Back-up battery: CR1220 battery (incl.)
I was successfully using the data logger with an uno, but had to migrate the project to Mega and was having no luck until I realized there's a typo in the datasheet. I feel very silly for missing it, but I wanted to share it. The data sheet says:
The ATmega2560 (VMA101) and ATmega32u4 Leonardo (VMA103) development boards do not use the same hardware SPI pin-out. If you are using one of these boards, please specify the pins used for SPI communication with the SD card. For the VMA202, these are pins 10, 11, 12 and 13. In the CardInfo sketch, modify line:
while (!card.init(SPI_HALF_SPEED, chipSelect)) {
to:
while (!card.init(SPI_HALF_SPEED,1,11,12,13)) {
That second line that yuo are changing TO should actually be
while (!card.init(SPI_HALF_SPEED,10,11,12,13)) {
-- this should have been obvious to me but I missed it for an embarrassingly long time. Changing the 1 to a 10 worked great.
Le logiciel ne prend en charge que FAT et ne reconnaît pas les cartes SD exFAT, j'ai réussi à le faire enregistrer avec le temps avec une ancienne carte SD de 16 Go, et j'ai dû charger une image juste pour régler l'horloge, je travaille en ajoutant une horloge écran et boutons pour pouvoir régler l'horloge si nécessaire en tant qu'appareil autonome
The software only supports FAT, and doesn't recognize exFAT SD cards, I manage to get it datalloging with time with a old 16GB SD card, and had to load one image just to set the clock, I'm working in adding one clock display and buttons to be able to set the clock if needed as stand alone device

- Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
- Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
- Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
- Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
- Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
- Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
- Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
- Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.

- Professional & Specialized Equipment — See the Professional & Specialized Equipment Warranty page and Professional & Institutional Buyers (B2B) section in the Terms & Conditions.
How to Request a Return Authorization (RA)
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
- RobotShop Fulfilled Orders → submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets.
- Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
