Hi,

i am getting error as

FreeRam: 439
type any character to start
------sd1 root-------
DIR1/
------sd2 root-------
DIR2/
------sd1 DIR1-------
TEXT.BIN
------sd2 DIR2-------
COPY.BIN

error: file1
SD errorCode: 0X13,0XFF

can anyone let me know what the problem is...

A hardware write error occurred on sd1.

/** card returned an error token as a response to a write operation */
uint8_t const SD_CARD_ERROR_WRITE = 0X13;

In this statement

  if (!file1.open("TEST.BIN", O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC)) {

Sometimes this happens when the wires to the SD are not short and neat. You could try a lower SPI speed like this by adding a SPI_HALF_SPEED parameter to begin().

  // initialize the first card
  if (!sd1.begin(SD1_CS, SPI_HALF_SPEED)) {
    sd1.initError("sd1:");
  }

i have connected one sd card chip select to pin 10 and other sd card card to pin 9.....and remaining MISO,MOSI,SCK,5V and GND to both sd cards.
is it right connection?

Thank you.

MISO,MOSI,SCK,5V and GND

The SDcards are 3.3V, so hopefully you have a voltage regulator and signal level shifter wired there..

ok thankyou...
