SD Shield on Arduino Mega

Community PCB Design

Hi folks.

I think this is the right place for this, so I am posting here.

Just bought an Arduino Mega. I need some data acquisition, so I purchased a Sparkfun SD Shield. I shoved a 2GB microSD card in there. Everything good so far.

There are some issues:

  1. The headers fit through, but it’s quite loose. Power isn’t engaged when it’s plugged in.

  2. The USB/DC power interfaces keep the end of the shield from sitting parallel to the motherboard.

Is this the right tool? I think I stacked it the right way. She’s just not working.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
