Mega, Data Logging Shield, and SD library replacement

Post by dwhitney »

Issue: Adafruit data logging shield, SD Library for Mega

Background: in order to transition my project from the Uno to the Mega, I'm going to need to replace the SD library (per: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-dat ... d-leonardo). Note: I also read (somewhere, can't find the source now that I need too) that duplicate libraries are verbotten. So, when I download the Adafruit SD library, this results in a 2nd 'SD' library in the library list.

Results: I've searched and goggled but have been unsuccessful.... I can't find the location of the core Arduino libraries in Mac OSX. I can find the custom installed libraries. Can someone please tell me how to replace the core SD library? Or am I wrong and there's a better way?

Thanks!

Dave

If you download the Adafruit SD library and put it in the "sketchbook" /libraries folder the Arduino IDE will look there first for it's libraries and, once found will stop searching. Hope that helped.
