Datalogging Shield SD Card Failures

Post by tmies »

Hello All,

I have a small number of systems utilizing the datalogger shield that have a high number of failures of the following type:

1) SD Card failure- Card is unreadable on a PC after use, and cannot be reformatted. Typically reports ~ 350MB size on a 2GB card.

2) RTC - time does not change. Resetting the clock sometimes helps, but not always.


Has anyone run into this and can offer suggestions?

Thanks,
Tim

Have not heard any reports of the first issue. Problems with the clock are often associated with soldering issues in the oscillator circuit. If you post photos of the font & back of the affected board(s) we can take a look.
