SD Card Read/Write Arduino Mega Fail

Question

I have an Arduino Mega 2560 where I have used a MicroSD Card Module to Read/Write Data on the Micro SD Card. I have tried using the Example in the Arduino IDE but the data is not being written or read by Arduino to the SD Card Module. The connections with the module is exactly how it is described in the Sketch. I have attached pictures of the Connection and the module I use for the same.

The Example sketch for the SD Card Read/Write is also attached.

If there is a problem that you can notice, please let me know what the problem is and if it can be solved.

Thank you in advance.

/*
SD card read/write
This example shows how to read and write data to and from an SD card file
The circuit:
* SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
** MOSI - pin 11
** MISO - pin 12
** CLK - pin 13
** CS - pin 4 (for MKRZero SD: SDCARD_SS_PIN)

 }
 Serial.print("Initializing SD card...");
 if (!SD.begin(4)) {
 Serial.println("initialization failed!");
 return;
 }
 Serial.println("initialization done.");
 // open the file. note that only one file can be open at a time,
 // so you have to close this one before opening another.
 myFile = SD.open("test.txt", FILE_WRITE);
 // if the file opened okay, write to it:
 if (myFile) {
 Serial.print("Writing to test.txt...");
 myFile.println("testing 1, 2, 3.");
 // close the file:
 myFile.close();
 Serial.println("done.");
 } else {
 // if the file didn't open, print an error:
 Serial.println("error opening test.txt");

 // re-open the file for reading:

Connection with Arduino SD Card Module

Answer 1

The SPI wiring described in the SD card example sketch is for Uno. On Mega the SPI pins are 50 MISO, 51 MOSI and 52 CLK.

• Keshav K: Is it possible to use 50 MISO, 51 MOSI and 52 CLK and 53 for CS?
• Juraj: SD.begin(53); for 53 as CS for SD card
• kevin_444: Thank you so much. I will check with your information and update you.
• kevin_444: I am so sorry for the delay. I had tried it and it worked. I could not come back go StackExchange because of getting stuck with other projects. Thank you so much for your help.
