I don't even know if this is possible but I am trying to change some code someone posted on a github to make an accelerometer (https://github.com/ammolytics/projects/tree/master/accelerometer). I can't seem to get the SdFat library to work with my board, but the SD library works just fine, I can read and write onto the card. I've never done any sort of coding before so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as to how I would change this code to use the SD library instead of the SdFat library? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am using an Adafruit Feather M0 Bluefruit LE (nRF52832) with the Adalogger FeatherWing (RTC + SD).
