Course Description

Welcome to this course.

SD Card is a device used to store information on almost all devices.

Do you want to go to the next level in storing data without a size limit?

  • We are announcing our brand-new course, SD Card Interfacing with PIC Microcontroller

  • HD Content that will take you in an informative journey to not only master the coding of SD Card Interfacing with PIC Microcontroller but also learn the very basics of SD Card internal structure, how it works, it’s pinout, its wiring diagram, and how your code can be used to read and write data easily using PIC Microcontroller.

Hello and welcome to this new course in which we are going to talk about SD Card interfacing with a PIC microcontroller.

This is Ashraf from the Educational Engineering Team, and in this course, we will first talk about memory cards, the technical capabilities of memory cards, and different types available and how to tell the difference between each of them.

  • What is the best one that you can use for interfacing with a PIC microcontroller?

  • We will also talk about the card PIN configuration. And we will talk about each pin. What it does and how you can connect it.

  • We will take on the MikroC Pro library for PIC multimedia card interfacing using the MikroC development environment, an environment that uses the C language for programming PIC microcontrollers. They provide a library that we can easily use to interface an SD card with a PIC microcontroller.

So in no time, you will be able to write and read data to and from any SD Card.

We will also talk about the external dependency of a Micro-SD card library, and we will explain each function, how to use it, what it does and where to place it in your code.

We will explain the functions and the libraries required for making this happen, and then we will take a practical example. in addition to how to interface our PIC  microcontroller with the card and why.

Then we will code or write a MikroC code to read data and write data to the SD card, and create some files.

So at the end of this course, you will be able to easily connect any SD card to the microcontroller and start using it for storing data.

If you take this course now, you can count on these three results in just a few hours!

My passion is inspiring people through online courses. I love learning new skills, and since 2007 have been teaching people like you everything I know. Through my online learning business, Educational Engineering School, I create courses that teach you how to become the better version of yourself with all kinds of skills.

What would you like to learn?

Would you like to make money being an Embedded System Developer?

Would you like to build your own 6-figure business?

Would you like to learn how to code, circuit design or solder electronic components?

Would you like to make better projects?

Would you like to start an embedded system career, create  great projects, kick start an idea, program, simulate, and create PCB Boards, launch a freelance career?

If you want to do any of these things, just enroll in the course. You have a 30-day money back guarantee if you don't like it. And I'm always improving my courses so that they stay up to date and the best that they can be. Check them out, and enroll today!

More About Ashraf:

I've always tried to live life presently and to the fullest. Some of the things I love to do in my spare time include football, biking, traveling to new places, watching sports (huge football fan here!), and sharing meals with friends and family.

In 2012, I graduated with my Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering at Azhar University - one of the top schools in the country. While there, I was fortunate to make Embedded Systems project using Arduino, PIC Microcontroller and other modules. After graduating, I worked at My own university as a Teacher Assistant . I followed that stint with a contract at a local College where I discovered how amazing it is to share your knowledge offline, which made me eager and eventually found myself starting my own online learning journey. I helped more than 100k student since then. Most recently. Throughout this time I built my Educational Engineering School Online brand to teach others the skills that I have. Now I only do things I love each day.

I want to show you how to be a better Embedded System creator, make money from your skills, and live the life you dreamed of.
