Storing Data on SD Card problem

Community Projects

Hello,

I am reading four analog amp probes and two digital temp probes. I am trying to save the data on a SD card. However, It just comes up with a weird number 343,343344… Any help would be great. I also would like to put a time associated with it but that can wait. I Know I need to implement the time.h and or RTC. I look forward to your response.

#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>

// Data wire is plugged into pin 3 on the Arduino
#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 3

// Setup a oneWire instance to communicate with any OneWire devices
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);

// Pass our oneWire reference to Dallas Temperature. 
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);

// Assign the addresses of your 1-Wire temp sensors.

DeviceAddress probe1 = { 0x28, 0xCC, 0xA2, 0x97, 0x05, 0x00, 0x00, 0x1E };
DeviceAddress probe2 = { 0x28, 0x8A, 0xF8, 0x97, 0x05, 0x00, 0x00, 0xF1 };
DeviceAddress spare = { 0x28, 0x59, 0xBE, 0xDF, 0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0x9F };

EnergyMonitor emon11, emon12, emon13, emon14;          // Create an instance

#include <SD.h>

// 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.

  sensors.setResolution(spare, 10);
