    Hi everyone
    Sorry for this long title, I didn't find a better way to describe my query, and I'm not sure it is even possible, but I think so...:grin:
    I wished to add an SD card reader module to a PC, and I'm talking about an SD card reader only, not a multi-card reader or any device with other ports than SD card.
    Before I buy anything, it turns out I already have an SD card reader module, but basically purposed for Arduino :happy:

    Does anyone knows if it is possible to use it on a PC; via the internal USB header, and if yes, witch pins have to be used to plug it in?
    thanks for your time...

    The basic answer is no as they're electrically very different. You'd need other hardware to make it work. Someone else asked the same question here which may help :)

    Thanks for your reply noizdaemon666, I had a feeling there was a tiny chance it could be compatible :sigh:
