How come some memory sticks work with the datalogger and others dont, I have formated 3 memory sticks and only one works with the data logger? i have the memory sticks set to FAT32.

    SparkFun posted an article on their experience with SD cards. They found, as these become commodities and the price continues to drop, that there are increasing numbers of SD cards that are just junk. The USB interface in the memory sticks has become a free add-on as well. Well known brands that buy from many sources and put their own brands on the devices get cheated as well. They suggested sticking with brands that make their own memory chips. Although that's no guarantee of better quality, you're more likely to avoid the garbage.
