+ SD card datalogger
+
+ This example shows how to log data from three analog sensors
+ to an SD card using the SD library.
+
+ The circuit:
+ * analog sensors on analog ins 0, 1, and 2
+ * SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
+ ** MOSI - pin 11
+ ** MISO - pin 12
+ ** CLK - pin 13
+ ** CS - pin 4
+
+ created 24 Nov 2010
+ updated 2 Dec 2010
+ by Tom Igoe
+
+ This example code is in the public domain.

+// On the Ethernet Shield, CS is pin 4. Note that even if it's not
+// used as the CS pin, the hardware CS pin (10 on most Arduino boards,
+// 53 on the Mega) must be left as an output or the SD library
+// functions will not work.

+
+void setup()
+{

+ Serial.print("Initializing SD card...");
+ // make sure that the default chip select pin is set to
+ // output, even if you don't use it:
+ pinMode(10, OUTPUT);
+
+ // see if the card is present and can be initialized:
+ if (!SD.begin(chipSelect)) {
+ Serial.println("Card failed, or not present");
+ // don't do anything more:
+ return;
+ }
+ Serial.println("card initialized.");

+ // make a string for assembling the data to log:

+ int sensor = analogRead(analogPin);
+ dataString += String(sensor);
