The SD Data Logger was dirt simple to hook up to the BOE Rev. C.
I downloaded your file "Demo Text.BS2", changed the extension of the Stamp directive to "BS2px", moved the BOE power switch to the "2" position and watched the SD Data Logger LED blink briefly red, and watched as the IDE scanned and found the Stamp and launched the program.
The Debug window said this, "NO RESPONSE FROM DATA LOGGER."
What have I done wrong?
My BOE jumper is set to VDD.
The BOE is running via·the USB port on my tablet PC with power supplied by the Parallax wall transformer. All other (extremely simple) programs from "WAM" have worked.

BUT, when I changed SPin from PIN 15 to PIN 14 this is what I got in the DEBUG window . . .

I am not too sure what it did other than . . . something! [noparse]:)[/noparse]

That is what the demo does.
It wrote the lines "Value=xx" to the file on the SD Card.
Then it read them back again.
If you put the SD card in a PC you can open the file you will see the text.
What is it you want to store on the SD card ?

Re: "What is it you want to store on the SD card?"
Gee. I don't know exactly. I bought it for the original purpose of storing sensor positions, which I can store as simply numbers from 0 - 255. However, while I am becoming familiar with the microcontroller environment, I imagine I will store many different types of data on it; or will I? (By the way, this little machine is a dream come true as far as storing sensor positions is concerned!)
Another question, if you please: When you said, "Do you have the logger connected to the correct BS2px pin ? I think the demos use pin 15." did you mean physically? (Impossible, I think.) You must have meant logically via the program.
Thank you very much for the immediate response. I'll buy more stuff . . . some of it will without a doubt be more SD Data Loggers.

You are what you write.
I asked because you can store two different types of data. Binary or text.
Binary data is stored as values (byte or word), works much faster than text, can be indexed quite easily.
Text data is stored as ascii characters, works slower than binary, can be variable length, can be read by PC easily.
If you are storing sensor positions that you want to read by a PC, then I would use text. If the data will only be read by the stamp, then binary is much faster.
