Please i need your help, i am developing tracking system, which i want to store NMEA sentences to my SD card, and upload it to my server using GSM module.
My code is freezing if i put the SD card code and GSM module code together, but if i separate SD card code and run it separately everything is working fine. What i observed it stop execution in SD.begin();
I need your help please.
Thanks
wiring and setup() please
Am using Arduino uno
The wiring are:
MOSI-> 11
MISO-> 12
SCK-> 13

I don't see SD begin in your sketch.
the SD library default CS pins is 4 (for the Ethernet shield). you have something else on pin 4.
use SD.begin(10) if you wired CS to pin 10
Am sorry
my header file code sd_card.h:
#ifndef sdrd
#define sdrd
#if (ARDUINO >=100)
#include "Arduino.h"
#else
#include "WProgram.h"
#endif
class sd_cardcon
{
private:
/* data /
public:
// sd_card(/ args */);
sd_cardcon(bool letsee=false);
//Method
void getstring(String datasend);
};
//extern sd_cardcon sd_card;
#endif
my sd_card.cpp
#include <SD.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include "sd_card.h"
File sdcard_file;
int CS_pin = 10;
sd_cardcon::sd_cardcon(bool letsee){
}
void sd_cardcon::getstring(String dataincome){
pinMode(CS_pin, OUTPUT);//declaring CS pin as output pin
if (SD.begin())
{
Serial.println("SD card is initialized and it is ready to use");
} else
{
Serial.println("SD card is not initialized");
return;
}
sdcard_file = SD.open("data.txt", FILE_WRITE); //Looking for the data.txt in SD card
if (sdcard_file) { //If the file is found
Serial.println("Writing to file is under process");
sdcard_file.println(dataincome); //Writing to file
sdcard_file.close(); //Closing the file
Serial.println("Done");
}
else {
Serial.println("Failed to open the file");
}
}
Juraj:
the SD library default CS pins is 4
Not as far as I can see, looking through the SD library source. It explicitly says it's SS which is 10.
Then the SD card examples all explicitly use 4 (presumably to accommodate the Ethernet shield using 10 for itself and giving 4 to the SD), and they wouldn't need to do that if it was already 4 in the source.
@neiklot thank you for correcting me
@Soja call SD.begin() in setup()
Juraj:
@neiklot thank you for correcting me
I think I read the source right, right? 
Juraj:
@neiklot thank you for correcting me@Soja call SD.begin() in setup()
Ok, let me try it.
Thanks

Is still freezing..........
This is what is displaying to me nothing else.

when I had this problem the sketch I was running was too big for the UNO. it ran out of memory and got twitchy when I added SD. it had nothing top do with SsD, it just happened when I tried to add it.
Soja, please read How to use this forum
pay particular attention to 7. If you are posting code or error messages, use "code" tags
I am new here, that is why.
Thank you very much.
what memory usage prints IDE after compiling the sketch?
You know am using Arduino Uno which is
Flash 32k bytes
SRAM 2k bytes
EEPROM 1k byte
Juraj:

Juraj means what does the IDE say after compiling?
