AS3935 & SPI

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

Hello,

This is the several components within my project.

Arduino UNO SMD3
Arduino UNO Click Shield
Thunder click device AS3935 on slot 2 (CS/D9 & D3/INT)
IDE 1.6.5
Adafruit SD DATALOGGER (CS D10)

I'm trying to build a Thunder Lightning detector with recording.
I would like some help to gather the both SPI's components: AS3935 & SD_card.

There is clearly a conflict between the two components.
THE AS3935 used SPI-mode1 and the data sheet declare an Active Low Cheap select. Obviously when CS is HIGH more than one device can communicate on MISO....

I tried to switch the both CS of SD-Card and AS3935 to organise the recording on interrupt but... without success...

I added the sketch but without SD-card management because I think I'm a real bad coder...

Thanks in advance.

I tried to write the complet sketch.
So I provide my test in attachment...
This seem working with SD_card, but it's not possible now to monitoring informations on serial monitor...
Each Serial commands doesn't work...

CS can be active high or low, please consult the data sheets. When the AS3935 constructor accepts a CS pin, I'd assume that it handles the CS itself. Otherwise select a device before you transmit data, and deselect it afterwards, leaving all other CS in deselected state.
