Hello all,
I'm trying to run the example SD card stuff on a 328 5V Nano clone with a Chinese SD card module with 3.3V regulator and level shifter. The weird thing is that I can run the CardInfo example just fine, but reading, writing or creating a file is a no-go.
I've tried 2 cards, one 2GB Sandisk and an 8GB Kingston. Both cards have been formatted with SD Card Formatter under Windows 10.
Thanks for all the help in advance!
Below is the output of the CardInfo example plus code from the Files example.
Initializing SD card...Wiring is correct and a card is present.
Card type: SDHC
Clusters: 244960
Blocks x Cluster: 64
Total Blocks: 15677440
Volume type is: FAT32
Volume size (Kb): 7838720
Volume size (Mb): 7655
Volume size (Gb): 7.48
Files found on the card (name, date and size in bytes):
