Arduino SD Card and Data Logging to Excel Tutorial

In this Arduino Tutorial we will learn how to use an SD Card module with the Arduino Board. Also in combination with the DS3231 Real Time Clock module we will make a data logging example where we will store the data of a temperature sensor to the SD Card and import it into Excel to make a chart out of it.

The most concise, understandable and well presented Arduino tutorials on YouTube. Thank-you!

[zyghom]

... and the proper first line in the file (i.e.: "Date/time, temperature") will make a header in your Excel ;-)

That's one of the best tutorials I've ever watched. Great work. Thank you. :)

Keep up the good work, Dejan! You are by far the best at explaining and presenting Arduino stuffs!

Thank you got it working more or less first time now logging several room temps over a 24 hours period and corolating the results

tis tutorial really helps, i'm planning on logging the voltage of some solarpanels and never really understood the sd card tutorials :D

[richmiller]

Awesome job! Tons of information in only a few minutes!

here are the SPI pins on the nano.... SPI: 10 (SS), 11 (MOSI), 12 (MISO), 13 (SCK).

It is better to create .CSV extension file from arduino with comma separated data lines. Which can be directly opened in EXCEL just by double clicking.

I am using it with SD card module and Microchip PICs .
No hassle of copy - paste & setiings.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Very useful.. but the schema demonstrated in the movie is incorrect in my opinion.
Miso (reen) and Mosi (blue) are wrong and must be rotated.
Thanks.

Thanks to showing us how to import "raw" data to excel👌🏻

Awesome bro followed and works for my Wheatstone bridge application

[jesusreignonhigh]

This could be utilized in very quick performance validation for small thermal systems. Even more for system optimization when coupled with Matlab for data manipulation and optimizartion...mind blown.

Best video yet ! BUT how do I hook this up on a Node MCU? Everything I need SD / temp / temp PLEASE I hope someone can chime in for the NodeMCU side thanks in advance and we need a display on this! Lol

[gulhermepereira]

Best tutorial ever on arduino! Congrats

[RaptorRotorHead]

Besides the Cs chip select how does it know all the other pins where they go to because on Nanos the pinout are different than this where do you tell the serial adapter what pins are being used

[taoufikulislam]

you are a great teacher Dejan.. A gigantic thumbs up for you xD!

[rajkunwar]

Can you access saved sensor data in SD card from computer without ejecting the card?

[xalexander]

Thanks to you I have learned something really helpful!!! Keep up the great work!

Hello, thanks for useful videos. I have a question. If I want to measure and log the magnetic field of a device over long period of time is it viable to use same configuration u have presented and just replace temperature sensor with magnetic flux density sensor?
