Introduction

This post is showed how to test the SD card on M-Duino PLUS version. 

Requirements

• Ethernet PLC:        M-Duino Family products

• Arduino SD Library:  Arduino SD Library

   

Software

The SD Library comes with the default Arduino IDE. So you can proceed to upload this sketch on your M-Duino PLUS version:

#include <SD.h>
Sd2Card card;
SdVolume volume;

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600L);
  Serial.println("M-Duino PLUS test started");

// we'll use the initialization code from the utility libraries
// since we're just testing if the card is working!
  if (!card.init(SPI_HALF_SPEED, 53)) {
    Serial.println("initialization failed. Things to check:");
    Serial.println("* is a card inserted?");
    Serial.println("* is your wiring correct?");
    Serial.println("* did you change the chipSelect pin to match your shield or module?");
    return;
  } else {
    Serial.println("Wiring is correct and a card is present.");
  }

  // print the type of card
  Serial.print("\nCard type: ");
  switch (card.type()) {
    case SD_CARD_TYPE_SD1:
      Serial.println("SD1");
      break;
    case SD_CARD_TYPE_SD2:
      Serial.println("SD2");
      break;
    case SD_CARD_TYPE_SDHC:
      Serial.println("SDHC");
      break;
    default:
      Serial.println("Unknown");
  }

  // Now we will try to open the 'volume'/'partition' - it should be FAT16 or FAT32
  if (!volume.init(card)) {
    Serial.println("Could not find FAT16/FAT32 partition.\nMake sure you've formatted the card");
  } else {
    // print the type and size of the first FAT-type volume
    uint32_t volumesize;
    Serial.print("\nVolume type is FAT");
    Serial.println(volume.fatType(), DEC);
    Serial.println();
  
    volumesize = volume.blocksPerCluster();    // clusters are collections of blocks
    volumesize *= volume.clusterCount();       // we'll have a lot of clusters
    volumesize *= 512;                            // SD card blocks are always 512 bytes
    Serial.print("Volume size (bytes): ");
    Serial.println(volumesize);
    Serial.print("Volume size (Kbytes): ");
    volumesize /= 1024;
    Serial.println(volumesize);
    Serial.print("Volume size (Mbytes): ");
    volumesize /= 1024;
    Serial.println(volumesize);
  }
}
