Only certain functions work when I connect it to my Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 and run the example scripts. I was able to verify this works on an old Arduino Leonardo.</p>

On the top of the metal cage there is a unique club-shaped cut-out located nearest the side (not the other two cut-outs). When I push gently on that cut-out with my finger nail then I hear a click/pop, and then I can get the SD card to engage into the slot.</p>

That way when doing a directory the last date/time updated would show for each filename.</p>

Again, if that is the case, you will need to <a href="https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_Qwiic_OpenLog_Arduino_Library/issues" rel="nofollow">file an issue in the GitHub repository</a>, for the engineer to look into the problem.</p>

Although they indicate that they already support SAMD21</p>

Otherwise, it could possibly be a compatibility issue with the microcontroller you are using. (<em>I'm not too familiar with the newer Arduino boards like the Nano IOT 33.</em>)</p></p>

I have been unable to get it to perform properly with SAMD21 based boards including the MKR WiFi 1010, nano 33 IoT, and the Sparkfun Redboard Turbo. However, it works fine with the Uno. The basic problem is that it drops a lot of characters in the file with the SAMD21 boards I have tried when using the commonplace x.print() or x.println() routines. The only way I have been able to get it to work "ok" with the SAMD21 boards is by saving data one byte at a time (printing one character at a time) followed delay(15) for each and every character. This is in no way a "high performance" (high speed) device when you need to slow it down like this just to eliminate dropped characters in the file. This problem when working with some boards seems to be well-known and is mentioned in the "howto" and on GitHub. It sounds like a hardware limitation, but perhaps a solution will emerge in the future!</p>

If you can easily reprogram it with an FTDI, it seems like it could be useful as a stand-alone unit interfacing a couple of Qwiic sensors. I might have to pick one up bc the small form factor could be a big plus for little projects...</p>

I have tried daisy-chaining the qwiic openlog and the qwiic scale on the same I2C line, and have run into problems. Each works fine when connected by themselves, but when they are both on the I2C line the library qwiic openlog examples lock up and won't write to the sd card. Changing the I2C address doesn't help. Any suggestions?</p>
