Adding an SD/MMC card - step 1

I set up the arduino this way to connect a micro SD card to it for extra memory.



Step one is to get regulated 3.3V to the SD card. I used an LM317T and some resistors to take the 5V from the arduino and turn it into 3.3V.

I purchased the micro SD card breakout board from SparkFun electronics.

Step two will be to write the firmware. This will be discussed in my next installment.

Hi, could you post your schematics using the LM317T to get 3.3V?
Or at least tell the resistors you used...
Thank ye!

Doesn't the Arduino have a 3.3v out already... could you use that instead of the LM317T?
