I am a newcomer to Arduino. I am using the Arduino MKR WAN 1310 together with the MKR GPS shield. It works wonderfully giving me the data I need. I now want to send it on a drone at an altitude of about 200 ft. I want to store the GPS data on an SD card. Could somebody tell me how I can do this with the Arduino MKR WAN 1310. Also, could you indicate whether I need a 3.3 V or 5 V battery for my Arduino when I use it in the drone?
Thank you in advance,
Vincent Pereira
I would suggest breaking your problem down into sections and research each section independently. start how to interface to the SD card reader, probably via the SPI bus, The battery depends on the hardware. The SD card reader could be 5V or maybe 3.3V depending on what your choice is. The battery voltage is dependent on its chemistry. You probably have space constraints, we do not know what they are.

Thank you for your prompt reply. As a newcomer to the Arduino community I am amazed at the help and expertise that is shared with all members of the community. I am very grateful.
In the Arduino Project Hub there is a tutorial on ‘SD Card Module with Arduino: How to read/write data. This tutorial describes a micro SD module which is used with the Uno. Can this be used with the MKR WAN 1310 boards? I have also come across MKR MEM Shield but the program copies data from a microSD card into Flash memory. I prefer having the data recorded on an SD card and then reading this data stored on an SD card when the drone comes back to the ground. I think basically what I want to know is which SD card module must I buy which works with the MKR WAN 1310 Arduino board that I have.
Your help is much appreciated.
