Ok.

Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Sara,

I have just managed to get an Arduino UNO. With this UNO, I did the tests SD-Cardinfo and SD-ReadWrite (with the same Sd Card reader). No issues at all now. So re-testing is not needed. For your information, there are also a couple of other SD-related examples in File-Examples. Also to format your SD card. They are in File-Examples-SdFat-SdFormatter and -SdInfo. Those examples require that you use pin 10 and not pin 4 for the chip select. To find and use these last examples, you need to have SdFat installed via the library (SdFat v 2.3.0 by Bill Greiman). I will investigate further what might be the issue using the SD card reader with my Arduino Nano (although the Nano looks OK).

Not at the time of creating this example.

We’ll have to test it again.

Hi.
Thanks for letting me know.
They probably changed the URL.

With Windows10 I have formatted an 32 Gb SDcard as FAT32 and checked by asking the properties after the format was complete. It was OK.
After executing example CardInfo with a SDcard module and an Arduino Nano the results in the monitor are as below:
08:26:31.781 ->
08:26:31.781 -> Initializing SD card…Wiring is correct and a card is present.
08:26:32.388 ->
08:26:32.388 -> Card type: SD2
08:26:32.994 -> Could not find FAT16/FAT32 partition.
08:26:32.994 -> Make sure you’ve formatted the card
Unfortunately, I can’t tell Cardinfo that this SD card is actually formatted as FAT32 🙂

Then I tried File> Examples > SD > ReadWrite with this result:
08:38:58.014 -> Initializing SD card…initialization failed!

If I looked closer to the way these two examples are initializing the SD card then I see a difference.
The line ” if (!card.init(SPI_HALF_SPEED, chipSelect)) {Serial.println(“initialization failed. Things to check:”); ” etc. in the Cardinfo example works OK
but the similar initializing line in the Read/Write example ” if (!SD.begin(4)) {Serial.println(“initialization failed!”); ” etc. then the initializing is failed.
(note: the variable “card” in the CardInfo example is decalerd as “SD2card card;”)
I have tried another formatted SDcard. Same result. And I have used both SDcards in another device without any issue.
Have you perhaps ever encountered this issue as well?

In this project https://randomnerdtutorials.com/guide-to-sd-card-module-with-arduino/
you have placed a Note:
“Note: different Arduino boards have different SPI pins. If you’re using another Arduino board, check the Arduino official documentation.”

The link to the documentation you give as https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/SPI is no longer valid.
I found this one:
https://docs.arduino.cc/language-reference/en/functions/communication/SPI/
Maybe a correction for your project.

Hi.
What pins does it have instead?

hey my sd cart module havent got a vcc pin. What should I do
