5. Including Libraries and Examples for learning quickly.
6. RTC battery 3V (CR2032) backup lasts for years (this battery type is cheap price for maintenance).
7. Including 3.3v level shifter circuitry prevents damage to your SD card.
8. Onboard includes 3.3v regulator outputs a steady and stable 3.3V dc output direct to SD card.
9. Including I2C Connector 4 pins will be connected with external I2C devices or other boards.
10. Including Stacking Headers with Arduino Standard 0.1" Headers 8 pins & 6 pins will be stacked with other arduino motherboards.
11. Board Dimension is 53.3mm(Width) * 68.6mm(Long) * 19.0mm(High).

  Starting SD Card Shield Plus for Arduino :
Example : Read Write Program

1. Insert your SD card into SD card reader of your computer to format your SD card for FAT16 or FAT32 file system.
2. After already formatted your SD card then take off the formatted SD card from SD card reader of your computer.
3. Stack SD Card Shield Plus to your another arduino motherboard via Stacking Headers with Arduino Standard 0.1" Headers 8 pins & 6 pins.
4. Insert the formatted SD card into SD card slot of SD Card Shield Plus and connects your another arduino motherboard to your computer via USB cable.
   
5. Double click on icon “Arduino ” program (Or double click “Shortcut to arduino” on your desktop) to open arduino on your computer which a free CD includes SD card libraries and example programs.
6. Write Data : Open an example program is ReadWrite program to will be tested this SD Card Shield Plus is choose File>Examples>Examples_SD_Shield >SD>ReadWrite”
7. After opened an example program is “ReadWrite program” will be shown detail of the C language code.
8. Choose “Sketch>Verify/Compile” or click icon to verify and compile the C language code.
9. If the C language code is correct and not found data error then information will be shown “Done compiling” and “Binary sketch size.
10. Choose “File > Upload to I/O Board” or click icon to upload program into your arduino motherboard.
11. If completely uploaded an example program (ReadWrite program) then information will be shown “Done uploading” and “Binary sketch size.
12. Click icon is Serial Monitor to will be shown data about receives and sends data via the serial port.
13. After clicked icon is “Serial Monitor” then will be shown “window of serial monitor ” is completely wrote “test.txt file” into SD card.
    
14. You take off SD card from the SD card slot of SD Card Shield Plus.
15. Read Data : Insert SD card into the SD card reader of your computer then open data in SD card will be found “test.txt file” then double click “test.txt file” will be shown data is wrote into SD card.
