Hi,
I am new to arduino. I have built a C02 sensor using info. from the link below:
http://www.osbss.com/tutorials/co₂-sensor/
The code is producing no errors (now!) and the SD card being used is a new SanDisk MicroSD 16gb card. [These are supplied formatted so I have not followed the advise given in the sticky.] Having put the card into the MacBook no files were found/seen. The C02 sensor light was flashing showing C02 was being sensed by the green LED was flashing 3 times indicating an issue to with the card.
I will post the code below. Please could you take a look? I have checked the pins. I am wondering what other checks can be done to try to find the problem.
Many thanks.
