/* SD card test This example shows how use the utility libraries on which the' SD library is based in order to get info about your SD card. Very useful for testing a card when you're not sure whether its working or not. The circuit: * SD card attached to SPI bus as follows: ** MOSI - pin 11 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila ** MISO - pin 12 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila ** CLK - pin 13 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila ** CS - depends on your SD card shield or module. Pin 4 used here for consistency with other Arduino examples created 28 Mar 2011 by Limor Fried modified 16 Mar 2011 by Tom Igoe */ // include the SD library: #include // set up variables using the SD utility library functions: Sd2Card card; SdVolume volume; SdFile root; // change this to match your SD shield or module; // Arduino Ethernet shield: pin 4 // Adafruit SD shields and modules: pin 10 // Sparkfun SD shield: pin 8 const int chipSelect = 4; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); Serial.print("\nInitializing SD card..."); // On the Ethernet Shield, CS is pin 4.
