or

Code: Select all

MMC cards are not supported. You need to use an SD card.

Ok thanks,

Does it matter if I use 512mb or 8gb sd card

Some of the higher capacity cards have fussier timing. Either could work, but I'd try the 512mb first.

That is most commonly due to soldering problems - usually of the SD card-holder.
Post photos of the front & back of the board and we'll have a look for any assembly issues.

The photos are a little dark, but it looks like you may have some cold solder joints there. Re-touch anything that is not smooth and shiny.

You might also try the CardInfo example sketch from the SD library. It may have some additional diagnostic info.
