An SD card is not included with the device. Your Electron MUST have a Plus 1 expansion connected in order to use this device. If you do not have a Plus 1, please take a look at the ElkSD128
(*) Many SD cards up to 64GB have been tested and found to work provided they are formatted as FAT32 and partitioned to les than 8GB, but this is not guaranteed. Use of 1-8GB capacity cards from a reputable brand (SanDisk, Kingston, Samsung, Kioxia, etc) is recommended.
