SD 08: Change directories
This example shows how to turn on the SD card. Move from one to another directory in order to manage files directly in each folder instead of using complete paths.
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 must 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
