Music shield issues

Hi funax,

The successful message should be like this:

Card found, starting… Ok.

Sectors per Cluster: 64
FAT Start sector: 139
Root start sector: 609
Data start sector: 513
ClockF:B800

Found file name is A OGG
File size: 4623274bytes.

Found file name is A OGG means there is playing A.ogg file on the card.

So it seems you are stuck in the initialization of microSD card. What memory size your card is? You may try to do like this:

  1. Format the card with FAT16.
  2. copy one mp3 or other music file to the card.
  3. install the card into the music shield.
  4. download the sketch of Music to atmega328.
  5. Plug the music sheld to the atmega328.
  6. Open the console.

If everything is ok, you’ll find the message as above. Otherwise, try to pull out the card and put in again, click the CloseCom/OpenCom button of SSCOM to reset the program.

May this helpful to you, and feel free to ask any question.

Regards,

-Icing
