Teensy 4.0 audio shield Rev D cant connect to Micro SD card

HI I have the following code and pin thinking that it may be reading sd card. My computer can read the MicroSd Card using adaptor . its 16 GB 10 however the IDE show

Those are the default SPI pins so the .set's are not needed.

Make sure a properly formatted and readable card is inserted.
> Try one of the included SD example sketches to listfiles with CS set to 10.

With the Rev D Audio shield properly soldered to the T_4.0 that should work.

Hey thank you for the respond . This is my first time doing a project period . I just did soldering myself . Regarding format, I don’t know what you mean by format. I don’t know how but it worked one time and then stopped working again .

With the Rev D Audio shield properly soldered to the T_4.0 that should work.

I have the 4.0 teensy solder to the audio shield I use multimeter and see connection . I don’t know what else to test or do

How do I make the format working ?
Found out the format of the card is FAT 32 . I am surprise it worked for short period of time

Did you try the installed example: {local install}\hardware\teensy\avr\libraries\SD\examples\listfiles\listfiles.ino

That even has the default: const int chipSelect = 10;

That should work with a properly installed IDE (1.8.19) and TeensyDuino (1.56)

I actually just tried it now it works.

one thing is i found this github code that supposed to play greeting recording everytime and record your voice. but I cant hear the greeting. I hear the beep but not the greeting message. any idea why it wont be able to read the message?

any idea why it wont be able to read the message?

Are the sound files actually on your SD card with the same data format and filenames this program expects?

nvm i got it figured out . but still doesnt read the greeting and it only plays the beep one time

 

[cp1797]

I have a Teensy 4.0 with Audio shield Rev D2 hooked up with soldered on headers. I've tried everything but the SD Card just doesn't detect. Keeps showing "Unable to access the SD card".

Going by this comment, I've checked with a multimeter the connection of the G pin between 5v and 3.3v and the GND pin and they are connected. CS is set to 10. I've also tried 7 through 14.

What am I doing wrong?? Would really appreciate the help.

Hi friend..

This is how I check my SD card

// init SD card on Teensy 4.1 ---------------------------

    if (!SD.begin(chipSelect)) {       // chipSelect is 254
         Serial.print("No SD card!");
        while(1) { };
    }
    else {
        Serial.print("SD card is connected");
    }

What am I missing?

Photos of the hardware are what's missing here. The problem is almost certainly poor soldering or a wiring mistake or misunderstanding.

I can confirm 64GB cards definitely do work with the audio shield and Teensy 4.0.

We can help you get the hardware connected properly, but to advise how to fix things we need to be able to actually see the hardware as you've connected.

Hi,
I am building an audio guest book using Teensy 4.0 and Audioshield Rev D2. I have a similar problem with initializing SD Card.

In the very beginning when I was using code for audio guestbook from github (https://github.com/playfultechnology/audio-guestbook?tab=readme-ov-file#readme) which is mentioned in the first post from Ninja, everything, includes SD Card, was working correctly.

After recording about 6 wav SD Card suddenly stops working.

I've tested few different SD Cards (128 MB Sandisk, Kingston Canvas Select Plus 64 GB A1 and Kingston 1GB) with Audio Example from Arduino IDE (file->examples->audio->hardware testing->sd card->sd card test) and they still don't work.

I checked soldering with multimeter and it looks like my wiring is correct.

I have no idea what can I do to fix this problem. I attached some pictures. Could You please advise something?

Try re-heating the solder on pin 13 underneath the audio shield.

Look at "Cold Joint" on the 2nd row. There's a good chance the solder ball is just sitting on top of the PCB's metal surface, maybe touching sometimes but other times not making good contact. Just reheating the solder so it flows properly should be enough.

As you inspect the rest of the solder, the SD card only depends on pins 10, 11, 12, 13, 3.3V and GND (next to pin 0). Focus only on those 6 pins.

Hello,
I've reheated all joints that looked 'suspicious' - especially pins 10, 11, 12, 13, 3.3V and GND as you sugested. It seems that was the problem!

Correcting the soldering not only helped with SD Card but also improved sound quality of recordings and sound quality in telephone speaker.
I added photos of new solders for everyone who wants to compare before and after

Thank You for fast and professional help!
