Connecting the Dash to an SD Card Reader

Can you also help me with this? I have copied the SD library in this post to the Arduino Libraries folder. When I compile I get errors show below…

I have recently purchased Dash device.

My connections are:
SCK (L05)
MOSI (L06)
MISO (L08)
SS (L07)

************** UPDATE ****************************************************

I managed to solve the problem but not sure why. I noted when I ran cardinfo sketch, the card was initialized ok but when I ran the datalogger sketch that used SD.begin, the code just locked up. After playing around a bit I did this (Ran card.init and then SD.begin). Now I can perform all the file activity ok.

if (!card.init(SPI_HALF_SPEED, chipSelect)) {
Serial.println(“SD init failed”);
return;
}
else {
Serial.println(“SD ok”);
}

SD.begin();

If you have the current Dash firmware and Arduino package, you no longer need the modified library included earlier in this thread. The standard SD library included with Arduino should work.

If you did a library update in the Arduino IDE, your local copy of the SD library may have been deleted. That happened to me. If it’s working you are probably using the default SD library now.
