I'm using the chipKIT UNO32 with a microSD adapter (this: http://www.mirifica.it/store/51-trioflex-microsd-adapter.html). Card used is a microSD HC, 4Gb, FAT32-formatted.

I'm using 2 demos from MPIDE (Examples -> SD)

The CardInfo demo works, but memory sizes are not right and showed as negative numbers.

The ReadWrite demo doesn't works, it stops at "Initializing SD card...".

I notice that CardInfo example uses a different way to initialize the card:

card.init(SPI_HALF_SPEED, 4)

and the ReadWrite example uses this:

SD.begin(4)

(4 is the IO used as Card Select in both examples)

If I use the card.init(SPI_HALF_SPEED, 4) in the "ReadWrite" example instead of SD.begin(4), after "Initializing SD card..." I got "initialization done." but example stops here and file is not created.

Someone encountered the same problem?

I've buyed a microSD 2Gb. Formatted in FAT16. Now the demo (SD->ReadWrite) stops at "Writing to test.txt...". File is created but nothing in it (0Kb). I've tried to format the microSD in all the ways. Nothing to do. I think the SD adapter works since initialization is done and file is created. Anyone can help me?

If the numbers are wrong it would seem the SD card is an unsupported one?

Can you write to an existing file? Can you read from a file? Which version of the MPIDE are you using?
