    @lilinghiew You need to initialize it as FAT16 with your computer first. (Format it).?

    What software are you using to initialize the sd card? I? did some survey on the logging stuff where the Fatfs library is kind of confusing me now. I don’t really understand purpose of including the Fatfs library and is it necessary for the logging system where i didn’t see any on this code appear in your tutorial. Thanks and looking forward to your reply.

    Jeremy, I am trying to use an Arduino Uno and a SD card shield to store an analog signal from a function generator; basically,? it’s gonna be a Digital Storage Oscilloscope. Could you point me in the right direction about the file format I need to use to manipulate the signal data once it’s in memory (SD card)?
    Thanks for all the good tutorials.

    No, i dont have the shield( i use a SDcard sniffer not MicroSD). And how do i make a ‘level? shifting’?
    Got a tutorial? 😀

    @lolypopboy777 Are you using an SD card shield? If not you? need to do level shifting.

    why do i get “Card …
    why do i get “Card Failture” at the first run? The input and output is called DI & DO.
    my pins:
    CS -> 10
    DI -> 11
    vcc.-> 8
    Clk -> 13
    Gnd -> Gnd
    DO-> 12
    (I tried to change the IN/OUT put, but it didn’t work. There is also pins called:
    IRQ, P9, SD,? WP, COM)

    Hey mate, great set …
    Hey mate, great set of videos! They have been extremely helpful. I am working on a data logger where I get at least 5 (maybe? more using a mega) analog inputs storing to an SD card. You mention you could have taken 5ms samples.. This is exactly what I need to do (sample rate > 200Hz). But it seems I would need to use a buffer to achieve this as opening/closing files on SD seems to take up lots of cpu time? any ideas how i go about this?
