Compact Flash Interfacing

Archiver

Hey Guys,

I'm part of an undergrad research team here at Utah State University that
sends experiments up on the shuttle. On our next payload we have an
experiment that is going to generate loads of data and we're looking for
something to store it. Any ideas? In the past we've had the stamp (we use
the stamp to control our experiments) send our data to SRAM packs, but due to
the volume of data we're thinking it would be nice if we could store to
Compact Flash or SD cards (large storage capacities and they're cheap- very
important to a non-profit, university-funded project. . .). Anyway, has
anyone tried to interface a stamp to either of these cards? If you have any
ideas or insight on the subject it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

-Andrew

Here is one pointer - I just happened to remember this...

There is an IDE interface for the stamp for compact flash here:

The top portion of this page refers to PICs, and the bottom refers to the stamp
version.
