CardInfo works but ReadWrite doesn't.

[spierepf]

Greetings,

I am having a really difficult time convincing my Arduino UNO R3 to talk to an SD card. I have tried two different SD card readers, one for micro and the other for full size devices. In both cases I can get CardInfo to successfully read the card, but the ReadWrite example fails.

With the microSD, the ReadWrite example corrupts the card. With the full sized device, the file is successfully created, but nothing gets written to it.

Has anyone else had this experience, and managed to solve it?

Peter.

It maybe too high SPI speed....

#define MEGA_SOFT_SPI 0

change MEGA_SOFT_SPI 0 to 1 or 2 in Sd2Card.h
