Plug your microSD card into your computer and ensure that it is empty. If there are files on the card, delete them and empty the trash. You should always clear the card, empty the trash while the card is still inserted, and properly eject it before removing the card from your computer.

While power is disconnected from the Arduino, go ahead and insert the microSD card into the adapter module. Plug in the Arduino (to USB), connect the 9V battery, and open the file at File -> Examples -> ENGR100-950 -> Lab3-SDtester and upload/run it. This script will throw an error statement in the serial monitor if the SD logger is not working properly. Once this script runs and appears to have worked for a few moments, go ahead and disconnect power, remove the SD card, and open the contents on your computer. You should see a file titled `DATALOG.CSV` which should be a CSV file with sample headers (names of the sensors we are using) and rows of data that are numbered 0-7 for each column. If this appears correct, then congratulations, you have successfully connected your SD logger and you are ready to meet up with Group B once they have finished their part!

<div class="primer-spec-callout warning" markdown="1">
When Group B is ready to move on, take both of your breadboards and move all the jumpers running from their Arduino into the same pins on your Arduino, so that everything is wired into one microcontroller (you need not physically move the components, but rather just their jumpers, leaving two breadboards side by side. They can lock together!). Once this is done, follow the link below to jump back into the normal lab manual together.
