I am using an SD card adapter for my Arduino Mega but everytime I try to run the CardInfo example all I get is this message.
Inig SD card...InitSD card...
Inig SD card...
I've formatted the SD card, I've checked the wiring, I've checked if it's going to the right pins, I've tried multiple cards and adapters. I don't understand why it can't detect the card.
Which SD card adapter are you using?
How is it connected to the Mega?
Some use D4 as CS. Others use D10.
You are aware that the SPI pins on a Mega are not on pins 11/12/13?
For some reason this has happened to me, too. An easy solution would be using SdFat.h. It has more functionality compared to the default SD.h, including the option to format the SD card using the Arduino board. Since I've used it, this never happened...
Yes, I've used an Arduino Mega 2560 (clone, actually), but instead of an SD card, this happened to my MicroSD card...
Yes, I have them wired in the correct spots.
I've tried using SdFat.h but I'm still getting the same problem.
SD initialization failed.
Do not reformat the card!
Is the card correctly inserted?
Is there a wiring/soldering problem?
Is SD_CS_PIN set to the correct value?
Does another SPI device need to be disabled?
SD errorCode: SD_CARD_ERROR_INVALID_CARD_CONFIG = 0x2b
SD errorData = 0x0
This is the error I receive now
Let's put everything back to normal and follow these steps (Even if you've done some of them, it's recommended to read them again):
Check the wiring: The correct wiring for an SD card module would be:
CS->4MISO->50MOSI->51SCK->52Upload the following code (It's the SdInfo.ino example but I modified it):
/*
* This program attempts to initialize an SD card and analyze its structure.
* The CID and CSD registers are also printed in HEX for use in online
* decoders like these.
*
* https://gurumeditation.org/1342/sd-memory-card-register-decoder/

#include "SdFat.h"
#include "sdios.h"
/*
Set DISABLE_CS_PIN to disable a second SPI device.
For example, with the Ethernet shield, set DISABLE_CS_PIN
to 10 to disable the Ethernet controller.
*/
const int8_t DISABLE_CS_PIN = -1;
/*
Change the value of SD_CS_PIN if you are using SPI
and your hardware does not use the default value, SS.
Common values are:
Arduino Ethernet shield: pin 4
Sparkfun SD shield: pin 8
Adafruit SD shields and modules: pin 10
