Arduino BLE Sense _ SD Module - Initializing SD card...initialization failed

Hi guys I have hooked up an SD module to my BLE Sense, CS is pin 10 and changed in the Card Info code, however I continually get the following message. SD card was formatted with SD Card Formatter and the module is brand new. Something else that is a bit weird in IDE beta it jumps from COM26 to 25 midway through upload and then errors saying no board on 26.

I switched back to IDE 1.8.13 and now it uploads fine but still get the same following error. (I have obviously checked wiring etc)

Initializing SD card...initialization failed. Things to check:

  • is a card inserted?
  • is your wiring correct?
  • did you change the chipSelect pin to match your shield or module?

I have seen this issue a lot but most of the topics were not answered but locked.

Got the problem, although I had seen this particular module being powered by 3.3v in other posts, it actually did require 5v. I made the solder bridge on the VUSB pads and fired it up and voila :slight_smile:

Initializing SD card...Wiring is correct and a card is present.
