kitsch-bent Cartridge PCB wiring

[BadBert]

@wolffman007 are you sure you wired everything up to the pi0 correctly?

I have 2 photos , but i cant post them right now... they are in my build topic (link in my signature)

Ill try to post the pictures here tomorrow

@badbert - I think so...I am no pro so I could be wrong. I am using the same cart as you did - only difference I grounded using pin 29 instead of 32 as your picture. The guys over @kitsch-bent confirmed that the cart I have uses pins: 1,5,9,13,17,21,25,29 of the cartridge reader. I used the following:

GND - PP6 - Pin 29
3.3v - PP8 - Pin 1
SD CLK - PP14 - Pin 17
SD DAT1 - PP17 - Pin 25
SD DAT2 - PP18 - Pin 2
DAT0 - PP16 - Pin 21
CMD - PP15 - Pin 13
CS - PP19 - Pin 9

I also added a few more pictures. I now see only "error whilst initialising SD card" Excuse the poor soldering... I cleaned up the soldering on the cartridge reader and bent the tips back I didn't need.

@wolffman007 try using the other pin for GND as it works fine for me!

Attached are the pictures i have:

Hi, I have an equal problem. first of all your explanations helped me a lot. I bought a multimeter and controlled each single contact. The contacts of the card reader from the cartridge and the contacts from the card reader of the raspberry are machting 100% when connected via the soldered wires.
BUT my raspberry won't boot. It starts to light up green in a steady state and thats it.
I have one thing different to your builds. I connected the ground (VDD) to PP5 and not PP6 but it's one common ground (also checked that)
Any idea?

This is what I found i haven't gotten to this part yet it I hope it works. Please send feedback

What do you guys think of this ? I think this should be the cheapest way to add a mini as slot in side
