Initialise the SD-card

Parameters

• chipSelectPin pin number for SD-card chip select
• sckRateID SPI speed, optional, default=SPI_HALF_SPEED
• SPI_Port SPI port number, optional, default=-1=none
• cardDetectionPin card detection pin number, optional, default=-1=none
• level expected level when SD-card available, default=LOW

Result

• true is success, false otherwise

    boolean begin(uint8_t chipSelectPin,
                  uint8_t sckRateID = SPI_HALF_SPEED,
                  int8_t SPI_Port = -1,
                  int8_t cardDetectionPin = -1,
                  int8_t level = LOW);
    

SD-card hardware detection

Result

• true is SD-card inserted, false otherwise

Uses previously defined cardDetectionPin and level

    uint8_t detectSD();
