I have my LCD working just fine with my Arduino Uno, but when I initialize the SD library via SD.begin() or even just hook up my SD card reader (Seeedstudio SD card shield v2.1) wired via a breadboard rather then plugging in directly so I can use the SPI pins for both then the LCD stops working. It does not matter if the LCD is initialized before or after the SD card.
Trying to initialize the SD library with the SD card connected and with or without the LCD connected also fails. I'm using the hardware SPI pins (11-13) and a level shifter for those signals. Note, that I've modified the PCD8544 library to use 13 = SCLK, 12 = MISO, 11 = MOSI and 9 = SPI select (10 is SD select).
Basically my problems boil down to:
- I can't initialize the SD card library
- I can't use the LCD with the SD card
Anyways, I've double & triple checked my wiring and everything seems ok. Just lost as how to debug this further.
Also, if anyone can suggest a good app for creating wiring diagrams for a Mac that would be great. I realize it's hard to debug this without seeing how things are wired up. 
Thanks!
