Hello, I have a project which measure weight and store it to SD card. Both sensor work efficiently load cell and SD card but the problem is that I cannot combine their code each self. How can fixed the code to store the data in SD card and display in serial monitor ?
I wire jumpers Arduino UNO to SD Card module like below:
GND => GND // GCC => 5V // MISO => 12 // MOSI => 11 // SCK => 13 // CS => 10
/*
SD card datalogger
This example shows how to log data from three analog sensors
to an SD card using the SD library.
The circuit:
analog sensors on analog ins 0, 1, and 2
SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
** MOSI - pin 11
** MISO - pin 12
** CLK - pin 13
** CS - pin 4 (for MKRZero SD: SDCARD_SS_PIN)
