A video with everything you need to know has been published below, the circuit diagram (if you need it) is at the bottom of the article which ises the connections used in the video.
SD cards are incredibly cheap (around the price of a normal size chocolate bar), yet for storing large amounts of data for use by (or created by) our micro-controllers they are extremely handy.
Requiring only basic wiring to an SPI bus they are also very simple to hook up at use. The video above concentrates on connecting up to an Arduino and shows you how to access the basic examples provided within the Arduino IDE. You could easily adapt this to other micro-controllers.
