# Arduino Spy Bug A simple voice recorder for Arduino using an SD card and an electret microphone amplifier circuit. Independent of any third-party libraries. ## Wiring (also documented in spybug/spybug.ino) ### SD Card Wiring SD | Nano ---------|------------ D0 (DO) | D12 (MISO) VSS | GND CLK | D13 (SCK) VDD | 5V or 3V3 CMD (DI) | D11 (MOSI) D3 (CS) | D10 (SS) WARNING: SD cards are not designed for 5V; I have been using 5V anyways and everything seems fine, but beware that there is a significant risk of immediate or premature failure when not using a buffer circuit. SD pin D3 is the chip select pin. It can be set manually in `PIN_SS`. ### Microphone Wiring (MAX9814 w/ electret microphone) Mic | Nano ---------|------------ VCC | 5V GND | GND Out | A0 Out defaults to A0 (AdcChannel0), but can be set manually in `ADC_CHANNEL`. ## Power Consumption (Arduino Nano) Mode | Unmodified | No voltage regulator | No TTL module or voltage regulator ----------|------------|----------------------|----------------------------------- Waiting | ~10mA | ~5.8mA | ~6μA Recording | ~30mA | ~25.1mA | ~25mA
