Hi All
I am hoping someone can shed some light on my problem. I just can not get an SD card to be recognised on my setup
System
Funduino Uno board (modified to run at 3.3V to save endless level shifters)
LC Studio SD card module ( http://www.lctech-inc.com/Hardware/Detail.aspx?id=0c3b6f7a-d101-4a60-8b56-3abfb7fd818d ): I removed the 5V regulator as it's no longer needed and shorted 3.3V regulator output pad to 5V regulator input pad for more 3.3V connections.
Running the CardInfo Sketch gives the usual
Initializing SD card...initialization failed. Things to check:
- is a card is inserted?
- Is your wiring correct?
- did you change the chipSelect pin to match your shield or module?
I have done the following
Checked the wiring again and again
Checked the SD card module header goes to the correct SD adapter pin and cross-checked this against the SD card pinout.
Made sure that chipSelect is Pin 10 and an output
Ran at full speed and quarter speed
Tried a 1GB (FAT) and 8GB (FAT32) SD card
Looked at all the signals on a scope:
CS, MOSI, SCLK seem fine and have good edges
MISO is dead: I have removed the pull-ups (no effect)
Lifted the adapter pin to check for a PCB short (nope)
Even tried a dedicated 3.3V supply to make sure it wasn't a current limitation
Nothing makes any difference.
I thought it could be a hardware fault but I don't think so now. My suspicion is that MISO is dead because the card is not being addressed properly, but why?
I am at a bit of a loss and not finding anything new from internet searches.
I am really hoping someone can help.
Many thanks in advance
