My new Datalogging Arduino shield with the PCF8523 real time clock is not working. When I use the Cardinfo sketch I am told that initialization failed. I have correctly set the Chipselect, and the button battery is new. Have others solved this problem?
Thanks.
Hi Lar,
I had the same problem but i was using a different datalogger. I have been told to change the SD card and I did but it didn't work. Eventually I found out that the problem was with the soldering. I bought a new datalogger and it worked.
In your case:
1- Double check that you are using the correct Chipselect pin.
2- Try to get a new SD card.
3- Check your soldering.
The button battery is either irrelevant, or should be. Did you format the card in the proper manner? There is a sticky on this at the top of the forum.
