I mean, it's just a breakout board for the PIC32, so how complicated can that get anyway? Point is, it's simple, small, and it works. You can use the SD card socket on a $1 SD card reader and solder 0.1" pin headers directly to it (they're the same pin pitch) and plug that into a breadboard for literally a 30 second SD card breadboard receptor. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
