I am having difficulties running the sdshield module in the Arduino IDE. I have an Arduino Uno and I have completed all of the steps that came with the hardware including soldering the Arduino shield on top of the Arduino board and soldering jumper wires to the designated locations. Furthermore, we have inserted our SD card and have had successful communication between the Arduino and our computer. I believe that the GPS module is not sending data to the board through the serial monitor but then again, I haven't a clue.
I am currently getting these errors when I upload the sdshield module...
Low memory available, stability problems may occur.

An error occurred while uploading the sketch
It is not going to work as you expect because you are not programing it. In tools be sure you selected the correct board. The upload is what installed your code in the arduino. Are you using Linux or Windows?
The processor is a dumb device, it only does what its instructions tell it to do. The one piece of code in it is called the boot loader. It is a 'flash programmer' designed to take the output of the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) which is generated from your code (sketch) converted to code the processor understands and is then placed in the predefined address(s) in processor flash memory where the bootloader eventually turns over control to the uploaded code.
Your error: "avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00" is telling that the processor is not syncing with the IDE and therefore is not reading the data sent to it and does not program your flash. Baud, wrong processor selected, hiccups in the Arduino bootloader, etc. can cause this problem.
If there is no bootloader it will never load. Be advised there are many Arduinos sold without the bootloader. They will not work until the bootloader program is loaded into them. Sometimes when getting this error pressing the reset while uploading helps. Let us know how you do.
I tried the bootloader....but it didn't work. These are the error messages that I recieved

oh god...! Please help!! :o
By the way, the specific Arduino Uno that we are using is the Arduino Elegoo Uno R3.
Has anything worked on this board before?
Have you connected any hardware to it?
If you can try another board. Also try several cables.
Can you try a different USB port.
Have you done anything with this board before, if not contact your supplier and tell them you have a bad board.
The messages are saying it is not communicating properly. Try the above and see what happens. Trying another board will be the biggest as it will let us know if your setup is working.
That was with the shield, but the GPS module has not shown signs of working...
The GPS_HardwareSerial_Parsing is the example that we tried to use and received a ton of errors. What do you mean by "Connected to what on the Arduino"...? I believe that we soldered a couple of jumper wires to pins 0 and 1 but it did not improve any connections between the shield and the GPS module/example, which may explain our current predicament, we happen to be at a standstill... Please expand more!!!
I have ran a few examples on this board before such as the standard blink example. In terms of hardware, I have connected the Adafruit Ultimate GPS Logging Shield with the intent to log GPS data which may explain some of our issues. I have 2 of the same Arduino Elegoo Uno R3 boards and I have tried both boards, to no avail... I have also tried a different USB port, restarted the Arduino IDE, restarted my computer, etc... Still Nada... Anything else kind sir...?
Also, what do you mean by this? Please tell me more..!
