I use a SD card to store my data
But the Arduino IDE always responds “Card Mount Failed”
How can I solve it?

Hi.
Most part of the times, that error is something related with the hardware:
- sd card module not wired properly
- not enough power provided to the module
- microSD card not properly inserted into the microSD card slot
- wrong pin assignment
- or the pins you’re using are not the most appropriate
In this case, it seems that you’re not passing the microSD card module CS pin to the !SD.begin() statement. You need to define the CS pin in your code.
What EPS32 and microSD card module are you using? Can you tell me the connections between the microSD card module and the ESP32?

VCC–3.3V
MISO–G19
MOSI–G23
SCK–G18
CS–G5
use “DOIT ESP-32 DEVKIT V1” and “Transcend Micro SD 16GB (FAT32)”
Hi.
You’re using the same pin assignment we use in our projects and the same ESP32 board, so the wiring should work fine.
As I mentioned in the previous comment, you need to pass the SD pin to the SD.begin(). So, in your second line of the setup(), you should have:
void setup(){ Serial.begin(115200); if(!SD.begin(5)){ Serial.println("Card Mount Failed");
Can you try this and see if it works?
Then, let me know the results.

Sara
it’s still wrong
it still show Card Mount Failed
is it possible that the <SD.h> or <SPI.h> broken make the code error?
this is my outcome…

Card Mount Failed
Hi.
I don’t think it is related with the software.
What sd card module are you using exactly? Some modules require 5V to operate. Can you try power it with 5V and see if it works?
Based on the information provided it is very difficult to understand what is going on. That error is usually related with hardware issues.
That’s great!
I’m glad the issue is solved.
I’ll mark this question as resolved.
If you need further help, you just need to open a new question in our forum.
