SD 07: Datalogger

This example shows how to store formatted frames in SD file using the Data Frame class. Besides, it shows how to get these frames from the file and get them ready to be sent.

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x SD card 1 x MiniUSB wire

Notes

- Remember that only 8.3 SHORT FILE NAME are valid for files and directories - Make sure Waspmote is switched off before inserting or removing the SD card. Otherwise, the SD card could be damaged. - Waspmote can not be switched off or reseted while there are ongoing read or write operations in the SD card. Otherwise, the SD card could be damaged and data could be lost. If you suspect that there may be some ongoing SD operations, wait a while until they are completed. - This example can be executed in Waspmote v12 and Waspmote v15
