"""VC0706 image capture to SD card demo.
You must wire up the VC0706 to the board's serial port, and a SD card holder
to the board's SPI bus.  Use the Feather M0 Adalogger as it includes a SD
card holder pre-wired to the board--this sketch is setup to use the Adalogger!
In addition you MUST also install the following dependent SD card library:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_SD
See the guide here for more details on using SD cards with CircuitPython:
