Introduction
Besides MicroPython, Raspberry Pi Pico can also be programmed using CircuitPython. You can read the differences between MicroPython and CircuitPython for Raspberry Pi Pico here 👉 MicroPython or CircuitPython? In this tutorial, we will try to write and read the data on the SD card using Maker Pi Pico.
Video
This tutorial shows how to write and read data to the SD card using Maker Pi Pico (Raspberry Pi Pico). It is programmed using CircuitPython.
Hardware Preparation
This is the list of items used in the video.
Sample Program
This is the basic CircuitPython code to interface SD card using Maker Pi Pico (Raspberry Pi Pico).
| from board import * | |
| from time import * | |
| import busio | |
| import sdcardio | |
| import storage | |
| sleep(1) | |
| spi = busio.SPI(GP10, MOSI=GP11, MISO=GP12) | |
| cs = GP15 | |
| sd = sdcardio.SDCard(spi, cs) | |
| vfs = storage.VfsFat(sd) | |
| storage.mount(vfs, '/sd') | |
| with open("/sd/pico.txt", "w") as file: | |
| file.write("1. Hello, world!\r\n") | |
| with open("/sd/pico.txt", "a") as file: | |
| file.write("2. This is another line!\r\n") | |
| with open("/sd/pico.txt", "a") as file: | |
| file.write("3. Last but not least!") | |
| with open("/sd/pico.txt", "r") as file: | |
| print("Printing lines in file:") | |
| for line in file: | |
| print(line, end='') |
