The Firewing SD Plus data logging shield is an Arduino compatible unit with an onboard DS1307 Real Time Clock (RTC) with battery backup.  The addition of  a micro secure digital (SD) card slot -makes this shield ideal for data logging applications. The prototyping area is based around the standard Firewing shield that provides a double sided prototyping area with paired holes.

This board includes standard header pins but does not include stackable headers.  If you want your prototyping board to be stackable, you will need to purchase our stackable header kit.  If you require a board with the headers pre-soldered, please just drop us an email.
