so i've tried your advice but without success.
Maybe i'm missing something, maybe the wiring is not right.
OpenLog --- Arduino
VCC to 3 or 5V
BLK to GND
RXI to TX(I've tried pin 1,14,16,18)

This code is public domain but you buy me a beer if you use this and we meet someday (Beerware license).
This is a simple test sketch for OpenLog. It sends a large batch of characters to the serial port at 9600bps.
Original test was recomended by ScottH on issue #12:
http://github.com/nseidle/OpenLog/issues#issue/12
Arduino TX to OpenLog RXI
Arduino 5V to OpenLog VCC
Arduino GND to OpenLog GND
To use this sketch, attach RXI pin of OpenLog to TX pin on Arduino. Power OpenLog from 5V (or 3.3V) and GND pins from Arduino.
After power up, OpenLog will start flashing (indicating it's receiving characters). It takes about 1 minute for
the sketch to run to completion. This will create a file that looks like this:
...
6:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-!#
7:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-!#
8:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-!#
9:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-!#
#:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-!#
1:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-!#
2:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-!#
...
The reason for creating these character blocks is it allows for a reader to very quickly scan the visible characters and
indentify any byte errors or glitches along the way. Every 9 lines we print a 10th line that has a leading character
such as # or !. These allow us to quickly see the different blocks of 10 lines.
Note: Bootloading an Arduino will cause OpenLog to drop to command mode. This is because OpenLog is looking for the
escape character (ctrl+z). During a bootload, all sorts of characters get sent to the Arduino and therefore ctrl+z is likely
to get sent to OpenLog. v1.51 of the OpenLog firmware fixes this potential error by requiring three escape characters.
