Hi, struggling a bit with this:

I'm attempting to connect a Sparkfun MicroSD breakout board to a Arduino Duemilanove (updated 328 version).

Breakout board: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=544

I've found this link here which describes connecting to a card but not the breakout boardhttp://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1235125412/0

Any assistance greatly appreciated!

that board is just connected to the socket to make it easy for you to wire, theres no electronics on it, so follow the instructions as if you were wiring directly to the card

Thanks; if the breakout board matched the pinout with 1 through to 7 I could connect as per sirmorris's post, but the labelling is:
CD
DO
GND (ok!)
SCK
VCC (3.3v?)
DI
CS

For those who are poor try this. You can access the card in SPI mode. I don't think there is code for native mode on Arudino.

Thanks

One option I can use is the microSD to SD adapter and then solder connections to the adapter, but my soldering skills aren't that great [smiley=shocked.gif]

here's the Link to the site I used in order to get this breakout board up and running: http://circuitfun.wordpress.com/2009/02/24/53/

and here's the relevant diagram from that page ('CD' is card detect and it is not needed for proper operation)
