I have a Arduino uno R3 and trying t get it to work with a Adafruit Ultimate GPS Logger Shield with a GPS Module. I tried the tutorial on SD Logging | Adafruit Ultimate GPS Logger Shield | Adafruit Learning System
Data Logger code-not working.txt (4.12 KB)
Please explain exactly what the problem is you're encountering, including any errors you are receiving.
When you encounter an error you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages". Click that button. Paste the error in a message here using code tags.
Please post your FULL sketch. The text file you attached only contains a portion of a sketch. If possible you should always post code directly in the forum thread as text using code tags (</> button on the toolbar). This will make it easy for anyone to look at it, which will increase the likelihood of you getting help. If the sketch is longer than the forum will allow then it's ok to add it as an attachment.
Please always do a Tools > Auto Format on your code before posting it. This will make it easier for you to spot bugs and make it easier for us to read.
When your code requires a library that's not included with the Arduino IDE please always post a link(using the chain link icon on the toolbar to make it clickable) to where you downloaded that library from or if you installed it using Library Manger(Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries) then say so and state the full name of the library.
This is the code

//
// This code shows how to listen to the GPS module in an interrupt
// which allows the program to have more 'freedom' - just parse
// when a new NMEA sentence is available! Then access data when
// desired.

Great, now we can help you!
You need to install the Adafruit GPS library. Instructions are at:
Alright i followed and completed that, so now what?
CPaulP:
Alright i followed and completed that, so now what?
Try the compile again.
