Datalogging RTC issue

Post by ttp1 »

Hi all,

I have just assembled my Data logging shield and am using it with the Arduino Uno. I have successfully be able to test the read and write capability of the SD card and can flash the LEDs after adding the jumpers. However now that I am starting to work with the RTC to set up the clock function the output that I am seeing in the serial monitor is complete gibberish. As in, characters that seem to be random, please see the output below. So far I have gone through and re-downloaded and installed the RTC library in a folder named RTClib in the library directory. Any help or suggestions would be helpful. I suspect that the issue is possibly related to the I2C but am unsure of how to test for this.

What baud-rate do you specify in Serial.begin() in your sketch? Your serial monitor is set for 9600 baud. The output looks like a baud-rate mismatch.

That appears to have fixed the problem! I would have never considered that, I really appreciated the help!
