Wave Sheild - MMS card failing check

Post by ktstark »

Hi Guys,

Bought a Wave shield kit, and put it together. Very nice and easy kit.

When I run the shield with my Arduino, my MMS card fails to register. I happen to have a friend who also has a wave shield and tried my card with his board, and its fine. Works like a charm.

Have gone over the board myself, have had another set of eyes look at the board, and we are stumped at what the problem is. Have you heard of any issues like this in the past, and can direct us to fixing the issue? Can send pics of the board if necessary, I have soldering experience and now two independent people have looked at the issue.

Really hope you can help me with this issue.

Please post clear photos of the front & back of the board & we will try to spot the problem.

Most card-reader issues are related to soldering on the card-holder. Unfortunately there is a bit of glare in the photo there and we can't see the solder joints clearly. Can you take another shot at angle showing those solder joints more clearly?
