  • You Reply: Hello Hector

    I try your sketch, but still return "initialization failed".

    I try CS in 4, 8 and 10,

    I`m using a arduino mega 1280

    The "ethernet" part of shield is OK, but SD isn`t :|

    Tks for helping

    How alternatives I have to do this work?

    Very useful for testing a card when you're not sure whether its working or not.

    The circuit:

    I have a arduino mega and I try to use SD on this shield.
    I made changes on SD exemple - pinMode(53, OUTPUT); to work on mega

    When the card is not inserted, its oK, arduino show me a message.
    When i insert a card (I try 2 sd cards), arduino give me a message of no card inserted.
    My card is a 1gb card
    I'm doing anyting wrong ?
