(micro SD) Ethernet Shield and Arduino Uno

Using Arduino Storage
1

Hello,

I'm thinking of buying the Arduino Ethernet Shield to use it with my Arduino Uno.

If you read the description of the shield it says:
"The latest revision of the shield adds a micro-SD card slot, which can be used to store files for serving over the network. It is compatible with the Arduino Duemilanove and Mega (using the Ethernet library). "

My question is, Can I use this shield with my Arduino Uno and still be able to read/write from the microSD card??

Sorry if this question is in the wrong place. It's only the second time posting here and I didn't know where to put it.

Thanks :smiley:

Yes.

edit: But you would be much better off with a Mega 2560. :slight_smile:

better in what sense? Some functions won't work with the Uno?

It is a memory challenge. I have a web server sketch on the playground, and an Uno has just enough program memory and SRAM to run it. If you add anything to it, you'll quickly run out of both types of memory.
