Hi Guys
i have an seeeduino v3 with an SD Shield V4 ontop, however the aduino default test program (cardinfo.ino) is continually telling me that i may have the wiring in correct or the wrong chip type selected, so questions:
- am i supposed to solder the stackable headers to the SD Shield?
- is the default chip type of 4 correct for the seeed SD Sheild

SD card test
This example shows how use the utility libraries on which the’
SD library is based in order to get info about your SD card.
Very useful for testing a card when you’re not sure whether its working or not.
The circuit:
- SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
** MOSI - pin 11 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
** MISO - pin 12 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
** CLK - pin 13 on Arduino Uno/Duemilanove/Diecimila
** CS - depends on your SD card shield or module.
Pin 4 used here for consistency with other Arduino examples
