[Energia Library] Petit FatFS SD Card Library

[LiviuM 43]

Have you read the first post in the topic?

Is your card maybe hard locked? May you in Linux/Windows delete the file/create a new file on the card?

My code for writing "hello world" to the sd card is running successfully but the SD card is not showing anything inside the written file.

Please somebody hepl me.

Thank you.

Regards,

Hemang Joshi.

Actually I can successfully do data logging with same SD card and same SD card shield from Arduino, so I dont think the card is locked.

I found very weird solution for this problem. If I have some number of characters pre-written in the t_write.txt file than Hello world will get written on that file.

Is it not possible to write something in empty file?? 

[LiviuM 43]

Have you read the answer @Rickta59 gave you on your (other) thread?

I mean the part:

Quote

Files are not able be created or increased in size, and only one file can be accessed at a time.

@LiviuM

Yo  man I didn't noticed that. It cleared all of my confusions.

i will be very happy if someone helps. i want to do "datalogging"

Have you found anyway to perform datalogging bro???

I am using micro SD card to log reading from four force sensors connected to the microcontroller (MSP430G2553). Controller logs reading to the SD card every 15 minutes and goes to sleep. I am using 1000 mAh battery, which is lasting over a week. Is it possible to reduce the power consumption as to make it last over a month.

(#) Even if the microcontroller is sleeping for 15 minute, SD card is continuously consuming power.

(#) It takes couple of mA to write.

• Help with any suggestion to reduce to power consumption drastically. Schematic and code (attached).

why not try using a GPIO pin to switch the power on/off to the SD card when you aren't accessing it?

How can I delete the previous data... I'm doing data logger. while logging new value previous values are coming. anyone have the solution for it. everytime when im writing a new values old entries also coming someone give solution for it

 

Thanks

Petit FatFS SD Card Library works well enough to read and copy the files. Kudos

I want to know a possible way to 'create and delete a file' in code run-time. I am expecting to use FIFO method to log data and send it sequentially later over a channel. So one solution i know is to create a temporary file, add the data from original file to temporary file except the one to be deleted and then delete the old file. 

Trying to create a file in run-time gives an error rc=3.

Hi ,
I testing this library with the MSP430FR4133 LP and my own code.. the Read and Write function is working fine, But the Thing is while writing to a file only Five characters is getting written to the file i.e if I write KAMALESH only KAMAL is written to the file. Can you Help me with this issue..
