The FatFS module will be initialized by the micro-SD deck driver when the deck is detected. After that the API calls can be used such as f_mount, f_open, f_read, f_close etc. | The FatFS module will be initialized by the micro-SD deck driver when the deck is detected.

+ | Frequency is an integer value in Hertz, for example 250 means that a data block is written every 4ms. The number of buffers is used to decouple the writing to the card and the data logging. Higher frequencies require more buffers, otherwise some data might be lost. Logging 10dof data with 1kHz works well with a buffer of 120 elements. But you may have to try around a bit to get feeling on what is possible. If the buffer was too small or the frequency was too high there will be gaps in the log as you can see in the following picture: | ||

+ | The file name should be 10 characters or less and a running number is appended automatically (e.g., if the file name is log, there will be files log00, log01, log02 etc.). The log entries are the names of logging variables in the firmware. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The config.txt file will be read only once on startup, therefore make sure that the µSD-Card is inserted before power up. If everything seems to be fine a µSD-task will be created and buffer space will be allocated. If malloc fails crazyflie will stuck with LED M1 and M4 glowing, otherwise data logging starts automatically after sensor calibration. The logfiles will be enumerated in ascending | ||
