Ini file /net.ini does not exist

[eziologico]

Hi, I installed the iniFile library 1.0.3 from library manager but the IniFile Example Sketch doesn't find the filo on the SD card. I tested the SD with the sd/listfiles example and it works fine.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Yhanks

Please paste the output from the example sketch and front the SD listfiles sketch.

Hi Steve, thank you for your reply. The output of the IniFile sketch is just: Ini file /net.ini does not exist

The output of the listfiles sketch is:

NET.INI     1207
done!

The output of the CardInfo sketch is:

Initializing SD card...Wiring is correct and a card is present.

Card type:         SDHC
Clusters:          1952581

Volume type is:    FAT32

Files found on the card (name, date and size in bytes):

My IniFileExample sketch is:

I hope this can help you to find out the problem,

That's not a problem I've encountered before. Sorry I can't help.
