Logger RTC Nonsense

Post by netpoint »

Hi,

I have just built the Data logger.

I have a couple of problem.

1. Using the sample RTC programs return nonsense to the serial port e.g

bgæÂÏŽÿVÈá•BANNED[þbGæÂÏŽÿr“Bè¨rM

2. Using the SD examples I get

Initializing SD card...initialization failed!

Not sure if this is because I have a 4GB card. Going to try a smaller one.

Make sure that the baud rate of your serial monitor matches the baud rate that you use in Serial.begin in your sketch.
2. Using the SD examples I get

If the smaller card doesn't work. post photos of the front & back of the card and we'll take a look for any assembly problems.
