small sd card

small sd card

2010-02-14 by blue_eagle74

I have asked on the electonics 101 site. but would like ask here.

Does anyone have an old SD Memory card of 16M to 256M memory card you want to
sell? I was wanting to use it with a micro. I have looked around and havent
found one. The smallest in the stores are 2G. Let me know what you want for it.

I could use a larger card later but want a smaller card now.

If you're going to use that kind of memory, one thing to watch for is  
the quality of the memory you buy.  One client used it to keep the  
error log for a $1M piece of equipment.  All was fine until the  
purchasing department bought consumer level cards instead of pricier  
industrial quality ones.  After a while of constant use in a server  
room, some cards started to fail and cost the company a bunch of  
reputation and money to replace them all.

I was recently able to find some smaller SD cards (256m) on ebay. I'd look
there.

Re: small sd card

2010-02-18 by blue_eagle74

Well, I guess standard SD cards for cameras and such. Wanted to use the SPI fuction of the card instead of the 4 bit mode. I have one made by Panasonic, 256M, not sure if this has the spi option. There is a guy sending me one that is 128M. I initally wanted a small one like a 16M because the data I am saving is quite small, using 512K eeprom right now.

I haven't looked into it yet (I know 'google'), but is there a specific way to save data to the card so when the card is put into the computer it will open in excell? Do I just add ascII charactures for comma between the data?

Thanks,
Brian
