So, this is the circuit I've been working on, and I can't seem to make it work it is getting stuck in the Initialization of the SD card. I'd be grateful for your suggestion and help.
Here is the full code of it:
#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
char array1[]= " ";
int tim = 500;
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 16, 2);
#include <MFRC522.h> // for the RFID
#include <SPI.h> // for the RFID and SD card module
#include <SD.h> // for the SD card
#include <RTClib.h> // for the RTC
// define pins for RFID
#define CS_RFID 10
#define RST_RFID 9
// define select pin for SD card module
#define CS_SD 4
// Create a file to store the data
File myFile;
// Instance of the class for RFID
MFRC522 rfid(CS_RFID, RST_RFID);
Variable to hold the tag's UID
String uidString;
// Instance of the class for RTC
RTC_DS1307 rtc;
// Define check in time
const int checkInHour = 9;
const int checkInMinute = 5;
//Variable to hold user check in
int userCheckInHour;
int userCheckInMinute;
// Pins for LEDs and buzzer
const int redLED = 6;
const int greenLED = 7;
const int buzzer = 5;
void setup() {
// Set LEDs and buzzer as outputs
pinMode(redLED, OUTPUT);
pinMode(greenLED, OUTPUT);
pinMode(buzzer, OUTPUT);
lcd.init(); //initialize the lcd
lcd.backlight(); //open the backlight
// Init Serial port
