Data logger shield SD does not initialize
This is a brand new data logger shield that I am using with an Uno R3. I've reviewed the posts I could find and similarly, I've tried multiple SD cards, formatted using the recommended formatting tool and tested using the CardInfo sketch. I have been able to determine that there is continuity between CD (card detect) and ground when a card is inserted, so the reader should be finding the card(s). Solder joints all look good. Is there anything else I can/should check before I see about getting a replacement shield?

Please post a photo of your setup so we can look for any potential hardware issues.

Re: Data logger shield SD does not initialize
You need to solder on the 2x3 header for the SPI pins:

Re: Data logger shield SD does not initialize
It would seem that I was under the incorrect impression that if I wasn't "using" those pins I didn't need to put them on :0 ....I will give that a shot. Thank you!
