Help with an SD Card Reader for the Arduino

I am looking for some help with an SD Card Reader for the Arduino. We bought several of the SD-MMC Breakout SD Card Readers from Sparkfun.

Product link: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12941

We aren't able to find a connection guide for it, and we are having a problem with getting it to work. Is anyone familiar with this product, and how we might hook it up.

Any help or previous experience would be greatly appreciated!

Rather than look for data on the SD card socket, look for data regarding the actual SD card. refering to the schematics provided by sparkfun, it is clear the card does nothing except pass the singnals from the arduino to the SD card. so you need to look up how to use an arduino or other mucrocontroller to talk to the SD card

for example... here: Tutorial How to use SD Card with Arduino - GarageLab (arduino, electronics, robotics, hacking) or here: How To: Connect Your Old SD Card To An Arduino - Martin Gardner.co.uk

I performed a simple google to find these on the first page of the results.
Hope it helps

Thanks Peter! We got it working, but it came down to the SD cards themselves. The Kingston ones we got from Sparkfun weren't working the reader, so I had to get new ones.
