SD Card module problem

stratosg 2011-12-06 18:11:49 5313 Views3 Replies
I connected my SD module http://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=sd%20card&product_id=163 on an Arduino Mega 2560 like the schematic on the doc (pins 10-13). I give power from the 5v power line of the arduino. The power led on the module is red. I load the example from the wiki, open the console, type a character and after a second I get this error:

[quote]Type any character to start
Can't access SD card. Do not reformat.
SD errorCode: 1
No card or SPI problem?[/quote]

I have a 2Gb SD card formatted on a FAT filesystem.

Any ideas why?
Thanks!

I do recommend doing some simple searches on the forum before posting, there might be similar discussions which might help to resolve your problem ;)

happy hacking! Hector

Thanks for the reply! I feel an idiot now :) I will give it a go and bug you if I have another problem! stratosg

2011-12-06 18:52:22 Hi,

The sample code is for regular Arduino. The SPI Pins on the MEGA are different: [color=rgb(85, 85, 85)][font=Georgia][size=14px]SPI: 50 (MISO), 51 (MOSI), 52 (SCK), 53 (SS).[/size][/font][/color]
You can read more about the MEGA here:[url=http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMega]http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMega[/url]
