hi. am using 6dof adxl345 board https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10121 and it is working fine.
but then i try to save data to sdcard am using micro sdshield SparkFun microSD Shield - DEV-12761 - SparkFun Electronics.
i downloaded the sdFat library also.
but when i try to combine both codes it doesnt save to the sd card if i connect it to the computer
please find attached my code
// Ported to SdFat from the native Arduino SD library example by Bill Greiman
// On the Ethernet Shield, CS is pin 4. SdFat handles setting SS
const int chipSelect = 8;
/*
SD card read/write
This example shows how to read and write data to and from an SD card file
The circuit:
* SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
** MOSI - pin 11
** MISO - pin 12
** CLK - pin 13
** CS - pin 4
