I need help [SOLVED]

[Marco Muciaccia]

hi to all , i have serched for help with my problem with the search mode but i haven't find nothing, then can someone help me? i have installed the ferduino code, i have make the caibration test and all, but now the display show me "please insert a sd card" i have a 3.2 tft lcd 240x400 with tft lcd mega shield and nothing else connected to arduino. i need to see the ferduino before buy the others component, because i don't want spent a lot of money and maybe stop me in the middle of the project.

Hi!

Welcome Marco!

Place a SD card with capacity of 1 or 2 GB formatted as FAT on TFT and uncomment this line on code:

Code: Select all

// #define USE_PIN_53_FOR_SD_CARD

If needed select a different speed here:

Code: Select all

// #define SD_CARD_SPEED SPI_FULL_SPEED    // Full speed
#define SD_CARD_SPEED SPI_HALF_SPEED      // Half speed
// #define SD_CARD_SPEED SPI_QUARTER_SPEED // Quarter speed

Did you some change on TFT shield as shown here?

Best regards.

[Marco Muciaccia]

uhmmmmm i make the bridge ,uncomment the line of pin 53, and change the speed of the sd but the problem still remaining. maybe i have to change the tft model driver? or upgrade the library?

[Fernando Garcia]

In this case the pin for SD card is 4 so uncomment ONLY this line:

Code: Select all

// #define USE_PIN_4_FOR_SD_CARD

[Marco Muciaccia]

today i tried again:
1) without pin 50,51,52,53 uncomment the line "use 53.." nothing
2) without pin 50,51,52,53 uncomment the line "use pin 4..." nothing
3) without pin 53 in arduino but in a bridge to 4 , "use pin 53" nothing
4) without pin 53 in arduino but in a bridge to 4 , "use pin 4" nothing
5) using all the normally pin "use 53.." nothign
6) using all the normally pin "use pin 4" nothing

the sd is formated as FAT 2 gb and inserted in the tft lcd,i ust have the arduino mega, the tft mega shiedl and the lcd 240x400, i have uncomment this line.

Hi!

You are not understanding what you are doing.

SD card works with SPI (pins 50, 51 and 52). So if you don't have an ethernet shield you CAN'T remove pins 50, 51 and 52.

Pins 50, 51 and 52 are only removed from TFT shield to prevent conflict between sd slot on TFT and ethernet shield.

Also if you are planning to use WiFi you should remove the bridge from pin 4 and use pins 50, 51, 52 and 53 for SD card.

Moreover you should make it work with test code first because it's more easy to debug.

Best regards.

[Marco Muciaccia]

i don't know how to use the test code, anyway in my previous post, i just show all the combination i have tried, i know about the ethernet shield but i wanted to try

[Fernando Garcia]

Just install test code then open the serial monitor and select the baud rate.

As you have soldered the pins again you should make sure that there's continuity between pins and pcb trace.

[Marco Muciaccia]

i haved ceck the continuity from the pin to pcb it's seems is all ok, i try the test code "list all file on sd card" and i received this message error

Code: Select all

exit status 1
SdFatUtil.h: No such file or directory

[Fernando Garcia]

Hi!

Example was updated copy again please.

Best regards.

[Fernando Garcia]

Hi!

Have you solved the problem?

Best regards.

[Marco Muciaccia]

hi, time has passed because i had ordered a new tft shield, i'm trying now with this new shiedl but i receive the same message "please insert a sd card".
however i'm triyng the code and currently the EEPROM_to_SDcard is the only who dosen't work i think is missing the file eeprom.h because it colored with orange in the arduino ide

[Fernando Garcia]

Hi!

A test code compiled and uploaded doesn't mean that SD card works.

Give me a serial monitor output of a test code that you are thinking that works please.

Also give me pics of your hardware.

Best regards.

Friend, we are talking about SD card problem only.

There's no reason to try code for parts that you don't own like w5100, stamps, PCF8575, level sensors, ENC25J60, DS18B20, RTC and etc.

As you can see in Create_file_on_SD_card.ino Sd card is not working.

Code: Select all

Can't open.

For your current hardware it should work with:

Code: Select all

#include <SdFat.h>


const byte SelectSlave_SD = 53; 
const byte SelectSlave_RFM = 69;
const byte SelectSlave_ETH = 4;

SdFat SD;
SdFile file;


float temp;
float tempe;

void setup()
{
  int16_t n;
  char buf[8];

  pinMode(SelectSlave_RFM, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(SelectSlave_ETH, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(SelectSlave_RFM, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(SelectSlave_ETH, HIGH);
 
  Serial.begin(9600);

  SD.begin(SelectSlave_SD, SPI_HALF_SPEED);

  while(!Serial)
  {
    ; // wait for serial.
  }

  if(file.open("LOGTDIA.TXT", O_CREAT | O_APPEND | O_WRITE))
  {
    Serial.println("Writing...");
    Serial.println();

    for(temp = 27.5; temp > 22.0; temp -= 0.15)
    {
      file.print(temp);
      file.write((uint8_t*)"\0", 1);
      file.write((uint8_t*)"\r\n", 2);
    }

    for(tempe = 22.5; tempe < 28.0; tempe += 0.15)
    {
      file.print(tempe);
      file.write((uint8_t*)"\0", 1);
      file.write((uint8_t*)"\r\n", 2);
    }
    file.close();
    Serial.println("Done!");
    Serial.println();
  }
  else
  {
    Serial.println("Can't open.");
  }

  if(file.open("LOGTDIA.TXT", O_READ))
  {
    Serial.println("Reading...");
    Serial.println();
    delay(5000);
    while ((n = file.read(buf, sizeof(buf))) > 0)
    {
      Serial.println(buf);
    }
    file.close();
    Serial.println();
    Serial.print("Finished!");
  }
}
void loop()
{
}



Otherwise you has to find what isn't working, SD card, SD adapter or SD card reader on TFT.

[Marco Muciaccia]

i tried the code you post me, and nothing, i have change 4 sd formatted as FAT, exFAT, FAT32, and nothing, i checked the continuity betwen the pins and the sd card, all ok . The tft mega shield is new and i don't think so it be broken, how can i ceck the hardware?

[Fernando Garcia]

Place a SD card with capacity of 1 or 2 GB formatted as FAT

I didn't told to try extFAT or FAT32.

You can try differents speeds as I told before.
Otherwise buy an ethernet shield and use your SD slot.

[Fernando Garcia]

Hi!

The problem with SD card was solved?

Best regards.
