It simply won't stay in place within most SD slots. I wish Sparkfun listened to the feedback more and tried to remedy this significant flaw.</p>

Kinda like a KVM switch.<p>So I can switch SD cards without touching anything. Like, for automated testing.</p></p>

Temporarily of course, you don't want to stick the phone in your pocket with it plugged in, it would break, but for stuff like music, pictures, movies all stored on a usb stick, plug in the adapter and use usb drives for your phone. Now to just figure out how to reverse engineer it.</p>

Unfortunately boards of this thickness aren't very common. The chance of being able to find small batch services for this thin board may be harder than normal, or they may have a larger minimum order. You might communicate with OSH Park to see if they can run something. If you find something, please reply back here so that we can all know how it worked out!</p>

I'm trying to make a modified version of it. Do you know where can one print a PCB of this thickness? (0.75mm).<p>I am looking for something not very costly that could do a 2-layer 2x1 board of the required 0.75mm thickness.</p><p>Thanks.</p></p>

The only solution I've been able to find is to buy this and the Sparkfun SD breakout board and run the wires/headers from the appropriate pins.<p>This is actually a better solution to me (except for the cost) because I keep this particular project in a shielded box, and the EyeFi has trouble transmitting through it. Using wires between the two boards allows me to rout the wifi adapter wherever.</p><p>If you already have an SD port, this is probably the cheapest retail WiFi setup for an Arduino (except for adding an Xbee to a Fio or something similar). It's pretty easy to use too, since the SD library is pretty well made. Even better, I get my Wifi over i2c since my Sd port is on my SmartGPU ( http://vizictechnologies.com/#/smart-gpu/4554296549 ).</p></p>

I've got an SD card from my windows phone that's currently bricked because no device other than WP7/symbian is capable of reformatting it, and i really don't want to have to buy a symbian phone just to get my SD card working again =(</p>

I put the microSD sniffer (from sparkfun) into the microSD<br>
breakout board (also from sparkfun).<br>
It looks like pin "CS" from microsd breakout board<br>
goes to (measurement) pin "CD" on microSD sniffer<br>
and obviously futher to pin "CS" of microsd card<br>
put into microsd sniffer (otherwise i think it would not work).<br>
Could it be that white text "CD" on microSD sniffer should<br>
be white text "CS" ?<br>
Perhaps also schematic is wrong:<br>
(http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Tools/microsniffer-v14.pdf)<br>
"CD/DAT3" shall be "CS/DAT3" ?<br>
I am no SD/uSD card expert, please clarify.</p>
