I am looking for a good tutorial on reading and writing to the SD card. I would like to be able to write a standard txt file that I can open on the pc. I am currently using PICs in basic, but have started venturing into the Sanguino (for generation 2 or 3) which I guess is Arduino compatible. I would also like to be able to make the card readable from my hardware to the pc with it's usb cable, but that's a luxury I might put aside. Any ideas? thanks. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,20795#msg-20795 Wed, 13 May 2026 21:14:32 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,21352#msg-21352 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,21352#msg-21352

I look forward to trying to replicate your results.

I'm looking for the mini-SD-card component (to put the SD card in). I prefer the one that is compatible to Zach's RepRap Motherboard (which you also seem to be using). I was intending to have a couple of them manufactured. It seems Zach has already had some produced?! I'm very interested in using a motherboard due to the clean wiring and such. After moving my RepRap once again it's broken (loose connection somewhere). I've moved it around a lot. Too much actually, but hey, it is a machine to show off with ;)!]]> ErikDeBruijn Controllers Wed, 11 Feb 2009 09:41:51 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,21273#msg-21273 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,21273#msg-21273 [www.roland-riegel.de]

I just tested the new version on a Motherboard:

My dirty hack is here:

Cleanup pending.]]> kintel Controllers Sun, 08 Feb 2009 22:27:15 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,20823#msg-20823 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,20823#msg-20823
I am not a guru with programming pics, stopped learning programming langues when vb6 turned over to .net but i got this idea:

- Read the file letter by letter, and put them in a memory slot.
- When coming to the character 10 or 13(enter key), execute the text in the memory slot.
- Start over until character is 3 (EOF).

This could be easy done by the reader that Tobi suggested. Note that the reader position does not return to the home position (thus creating a loop)]]> Mr. Seeker Controllers Sun, 25 Jan 2009 05:24:42 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,20813#msg-20813 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,20813#msg-20813
I have been working on this for the last week off and on. I have found 3 different libraries they are all very close here are the links and some comments on what I have found.

[www.ladyada.net]

the first was Lady ADA's this was the Arduino wave shield library it is very good but it is not made for .txt files.



[code.google.com]


This one I found it was a replacement for the Lady ADA's GPS shield. I found that this was smaller then the wave shield library Zach's library.

[reprap.svn.sourceforge.net]

this was one that zach has done some work on. The test code he has made works very well it could use code added to list all files in the root directory. (the original lady ada has that code.)

As far as what I have done so far.

I have tested these and have found that the 2nd one works very well and so does Zach's I have not been able to read a line at a time and get it to work with the Gcode software.

My goals have been to be able to list the file that are on the SD card and also read a gcode file line by line so the Gcode software can process. I think any of these will be able to do this.

There are also some good tutorials and Libraries on AVRFreaks,net forums. Use the search function. This question gets asked a lot.]]> sheep Controllers Sat, 24 Jan 2009 15:38:19 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,20807#msg-20807 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,20807#msg-20807 I'll let you know how it comes]]> Dylan Controllers Sat, 24 Jan 2009 13:29:05 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,20800#msg-20800 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,20800#msg-20800

Mikroelektronika has compilers in C, Basic and Pascal. I use their Pic Basic compiler but they also have ports to other microcontroller families, AVR being one of them. Their library functions are the most extensive I've seen.]]> Forrest Higgs Controllers Sat, 24 Jan 2009 09:22:26 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,20797#msg-20797 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,20797#msg-20797
But there is a nice library that does all this stuff here: [www.roland-riegel.de]
I also think that Bruce Wattendorf is working on this stuff, isn't he?
Bruce, did you already managed to get the sd card working?]]> Tobias Fleig Controllers Sat, 24 Jan 2009 05:53:16 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,20795#msg-20795 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,20795,20795#msg-20795 I am currently using PICs in basic, but have started venturing into the Sanguino (for generation 2 or 3) which I guess is Arduino compatible.
