To improve preformance in reading a file I have decided that it would be better to use the Sd2card libary which is part of sdfatlib and for some reason doing

Code:

myfile.readStart(bgnBlock)
myfile.readData(bufferOne))

both return zero However

Code:

file.contiguousRange(&bgnBlock, &endBlock)

returns One after I defragmented my sdcard but before I defragmented it the function returned zero.
Here is my code:

Code:

#include <SdFat.h>
#include <Sd2Card.h>
#include <SdBaseFile.h>
#include <SdFatUtil.h>
const int chipSelect = 10;
#define buffer_size 512
uint8_t bufferOne[buffer_size];
uint8_t bufferTwo[buffer_size];
SdFat sd;
Sd2Card myfile;
SdFile file;
unsigned long audio_size_full;
void setup()
{
 Serial.begin(115200);
  pinMode(TIMER_PIN, OUTPUT );
  SAMPLE_RATE=44100;
 // pinMode(13, OUTPUT);                       //turn on led pin to see voltage
 // digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
   PgmPrint("FreeRam: ");
  Serial.println(FreeRam());
  if (!sd.init(SPI_FULL_SPEED, chipSelect)) sd.initErrorHalt();
  file.open("axelf.snd",O_READ);
    Serial.println(file.contiguousRange(&bgnBlock, &endBlock));
 audio_size_full=file.fileSize();
  //Serial.print("staring play back\nFilesize=");
  PgmPrint("starting play back\nFilersize=");
   Serial.println(audio_size_full);
 // file.rewind();
  //read the first buffer
  //Serial.println(myfile.read(bufferOne,buffer_size));
  //get block range
  //file.close();
  Serial.println(myfile.readStart(bgnBlock));
  Serial.println(myfile.readData(bufferOne));
    startPlayback();
 // Serial.println("started");
 PgmPrintln("started");

I do not understand why it is not working.

The problem is myfile is not the object that can access the SD card.

You need to use sd.card() like this:

Code:

#include <SdFat.h>
SdFat sd;
SdFile file;
const int chipSelect = 10;
uint32_t bgnBlock;
uint32_t endBlock;
uint8_t bufferOne[512];
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  if (!sd.init(SPI_FULL_SPEED, chipSelect)) sd.initErrorHalt();
  file.open("axelf.snd",O_READ);
  Serial.println(file.contiguousRange(&bgnBlock, &endBlock));
  Sd2Card *card = sd.card();
  Serial.println(card->readStart(bgnBlock));
  Serial.println(card->readData(bufferOne));
  for (uint8_t i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
  //  Serial.println(bufferOne[i], HEX);
  }
}
void loop() {}

Thank you works perfectly! Also thank you for creating the awesome library.
