connecting BS to mass storage devices
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I need to get serial input (from a GPS), process it and output it to
some kind of mass storage device such as a flash card or memory
stick. Processing serial input is well covered in this and other
fora but the storage part of it has been more difficult to find. I'd
love pointers to projects and hw dedicated to this.
The standard memory modules available are far too small since I'd
like to collect att fairly close intervals over a long time.
My idea is to log my own (full scale) glider flying, 5-7 hours of
collecting at , say, 5 second intervals.
TIA

PS
I know there are commercial devices available such as the
Volkslogger doing this but hey, whats the fun in that?

was looking into one of those 1 gig cards). This is
to store digital photos of experiments (and other
data) that will be flying about the international
space station, and also the space shuttle. I've
already sent a couple of emails to this group but I've
never seen any response. If you figure this out let
me know (and if I get it done, I'll drop you a line!)

I need to store 10hours of data, sample rate: 1 per second. Storing
the $GPRMC sentence, it will take about 3.5MB of space.
If anyone has any ideas, I will be most grateful.

(he used a compact flash card) with the stamp and eventualy ported it to the
PIC.
I don't know if Barry still checks the list but his page about how to do it
and source code is still up, it might be worth a look...

A picture of that board is at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/synop/files/javelin%20stamp/Serial-CF%20board/
Serial-CF.jpg
Access to the flashcard is, due to I2C bus, slow at best: about 6.3 seconds
per sector (512 bytes).
For my logging purposes that is fast enough. I guess a basic stamp could be
used but you must
then also supply some additional (eeprom?) memory if you want to store
complete sectors
for fast(er) access. That particular board has a socket for an I2C eeprom.

Last year a guy by the name of Barry designed a interesting IDE interface
(he used a compact flash card) with the stamp and eventualy ported it to the
PIC.
I don't know if Barry still checks the list but his page about how to do it
and source code is still up, it might be worth a look...
