0.96" OLED SD card init failed (Uno)

Post by kevinb8 »

Hi AdaFruiters!

I try not to bug you guys, but I am attempting to use this OLED for a project at work and I am stuck. I wired the 0.96" mini Color OLED to the Arduino Uno and ran the test sketch that draws lines, circles, and text. No issue. I am now trying to view BMPs on it. I formatted 2 SD cards using the SD assoc. v4 formatter (tried windows and mac versions), and copied the violet.bmp picture to both cards. I tried both in the OLED but in both cases the serial monitor says:
"Initializing SD card...failed!" and all I see is a blue screen.
I am using OS X, running IDE 1.5.5

I'd appreciate some help, thank you for your time.

If you are running from an UNO, you don' need to use 1.5.5. It is still beta software.
I'd recommend using the current release: 1.0.5. This is quite stable.
the serial monitor says:
"Initializing SD card...failed!"
Run the "cardinfo" example sketch from the SD library and post the output here.
