AMOLED S3 T-Display Touch - Problem with reading SD Card

[rs77can]

I need to have the WiFi, the AMOLED display, as well as the SD card all working simultaneously.

I am using Arduino IDE

The examples for the SD card interface do not work, and generate an error that the SD card cannot be mounted.

I tried

https://community.lilygo.cc/topic/154/t-display-s3-touch-version-trouble-to-connect-sd-card-reader-spi

Anyone have a working example

@rs77can Maybe this will help:

@rs77can That did not work either - cant mount card

I tried this

https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/libraries/FFat/examples/FFat_Test/FFat_Test.ino

This worked - just make sure not to reformat the drive each time.

#include "FS.h"
#include "FFat.h"

// This file should be compiled with 'Partition Scheme' (in Tools menu)
// set to 'Default with ffat' if you have a 4MB ESP32 dev module or
// set to '16M Fat' if you have a 16MB ESP32 dev module.

// You only need to format FFat the first time you run a test
#define FORMAT_FFAT true
