I generally find Sparkfun boards easy to use, but somehow I am struggling with Openlog.
I have carried out 2 tests so far. I am using 2GB micro SD Card of Patriot Memory.
TEST 1
Openlog -- Arduino Pro Mini
---------------------------
3.3V - VCC (3.3v)
GND - GND
TX - 8 (NewSoftSerial RX)
RX - 9 (NewSoftSerial TX)
GRN - RST
BLK - GND
TEST 2
--------
( Based on http://gentlenav.googlecode.com/svn-his ... ction.wiki)
FTDI 3.3V Connector -- OpenLog
RX - TX
TX - RX
VCC - VCC
GND - GND
DTR - GRN
Openlog's BLK kept open
Started serial terminal of Arduino software(v. 0018) at 9600 bps. I get '12' on terminal. I sent '?' back. No response. I typed random things , pressed enter, random things, pressed enter, checked SD Card -- empty!
Now, I am clueless , and hope to find some help on this forum .

Code: Select all
Downloaded above sketch to arduino mini, ran it. Took SD Card out plugged to USB via card reader. Empty!#include <NewSoftSerial.h>
NewSoftSerial logger(8,9);
void setup() {
pinMode(8, INPUT);
pinMode(9, OUTPUT);
delay(1000); //just to let everything settle down after power up
Serial.begin(9600);
logger.begin(9600);
logger.println("I should be written to the file!");
}
void loop() { }
