after this i still get the same output from the serial monitor
im hooked up to all the same pins as before.... and im getting a blinking light from my gps device which means it is getting signals, then when i take my sd card out and try to read it there is no file on it

@madmike970 Well it could take a while for the gps to get a lock. Also if you don't do an orderly shutdown on the card not only will there be no date, it can corrupt the card. I would put the led code back in (remove the // you added) and I would comment out the cf card code and instead focus on getting gps messages out. There is something not making sense.

i did go back to the raw dronebot version of the code

@madmike970 Ok, so we can see from that plus the serial output the cf card neither initialized nor failed so something there needs to be fixed, but that is minor. comment out all the code to do with the cf card and see what you get.

@madmike970 What we are doing here is called divide and conquer. remove sections of the code so you are dealing with smaller pieces. as each one works add in another section.

@madmike970 I am having trouble uploading the new sketch. Not sure why. What I want to prove is that the messages you are seeing on the serial monitor are from the gps start up and you never get to the cf card initialize. If thats true then we need to examine the gps wiring very carefully. Maybe tomorrow, but for now I need to go to bed.

so i try to upload this.. i think its commenting out all the sd functions...and i get this error message from compiler
C:\Users\VanillaGuerilla\Documents\Arduino\raw_dronebotgpsnosd\raw_dronebotgpsnosd.ino: In function 'void loop()':
raw_dronebotgpsnosd:90:11: error: 'displayInfo' was not declared in this scope

exit status 1

'displayInfo' was not declared in this scope
When you "comment out the sd functions" you do have to ensure that you maintain the nesting of the code. That is, if you comment out a statement wistarting with a "if" statement that contains a "{" at the end, then you MUST ensure sure that the corresponding closing "}" is also commented out.
Because of your unbalanced quotes, the definition of the sub is not recognized as it appears to be inside another group of code.
Anything seems possible when you don't know what you're talking about.

damn.... why the hell can't i just explain to the device what i want it to do??? why all this {} if then nonsense lol. do you see my problem by chance??? im looking but.... uh ya..

You can, it's called programming

I gave you a very strong hint, but you won't learn unless you do the work. Programming is straightforward usually, but you have to follow the rules that the language and compiler specify. No exceptions, and the best way to learn is to dig in and root out the error.

ok got one to compile and upload... now no serial monitor output at all, no led blinks, gps device is blinking..
