Hello guys 
I am trying to make a datalogger with arduino UNO, MPU9250 (for its 4000Hz capability and 16bit precision) and SD card.
WIRING is:
SPI on UNO MPU9250
MOSI 11 SDI
MISO 12 SDO
CLK 13 SCL
SS 10 NCS
SD card has CS = 4
and SD card module is conected with MOSI,MISO and CLK lines in parallel with MPU9250.
I took the LowLatencyLogger from sdFat library examples and I try to include into it the MPU9250 library
https://github.com/bolderflight/MPU9250/blob/master/README.md and logg data from sensor to SD card but I have trouble with initialising both devices
If I disconnect the SD module the accelerometer will connect via SPI successfuly (meaning that IMU.begin() will return positive value) but sd card will say:
Can’t access SD card. Do not reformat.
No card, wrong chip select pin, or SPI problem?
SD errorCode: 0X20,0X0
When I try to connect one or the other to the second arduino MEGA for external power that device will stop operating (Dont know why)
Now I just want to read from the WHO_AM_I register to check the connection with the MPU9250.
I tried:
- Setting the SPI_MODE to 0 after accesing the accelerometer which works with SPI_MODE3 (doesnt work)
- connecting all to MEGA (I thought maybe UNO isnt able the provide sufficient current)
- interchange the sequence of initialisation.
The main part of the code begins on line 590.
I commented the IMU.begin() function because it didnt work and I have written manualy the SPI communication below so I know that is going on.
In attachements there is the code and MPU9250 library files.
Thank you for any help.
EDIT: if I let the script run, but add a 5 second delay in between the MPU SPI initialisation and SD card initialisation and I unglug the SD card module from power and after the initialisation of MPU plug it back in again and let it initialise everything will initialise successfully … what???
