SD/MMC fits in floppy edge-connector

Step 8: 08_label_and_guide_shim.jpg

Here is the completed SD floppy connector, with label attached showing which way to insert the SD card, and with a guide shim (cut from a plastic soda pop bottle) folded over and inserted to help guide the SD card into the proper pins.

It works!

Brilliant idea!  I just added a comment in my Instructable (Great idea, great Instructable!  I just added a comment to my own Instructable (http://www.instructables.com/id/Digital-Window-Sticker-Arduino-Controlled/) recommending this as an alternative to the expensive SD Card breakout board I used!) suggesting this as a possible, lower-cost alternative to the SD Card breakout board I used.  I'll be trying this out for future projects!
