SD card help
Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2016 2:13 pm
I have been trying to get my SD card working.
I've wired it up as per the guide and I've tested for continuity and shorts. All wires have a connection from the sd to the pads on the pi. It's wired based on this:
Can anyone see any glaring mistakes?
If I turn pi on I get no activity light with the sd in the cart. If I put the SD directly into the pi it works with no issue (activity lights and boots). If I try with no sd card at all I get no lights on activity so it's like the pi isn't seeing the sd card.
I've also tried 3 micro sd cards all with a working retropie image on them.
The only thing I haven't got is the 1micro farad cap. Is that an essential piece I'm missing or can you do without it?
Another thing I noticed is my PP8 is in a different spot to everyone's I've seen. I assume they wouldn't change the function of the pad with different revisions?
