Hi,

I wanted to replace the SD card of the sensortile.box with a faster one, but then I am not able to upload my application. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance and best regards, Carla

    Hi Carla @CTett.1​ ​ ,

    there should not be any problem with faster sd cards

    I don't think that the datalog speed depends on the sd card speed, so I don't recommend to change it.

    anyway, if you want to use that one, try to format it before using it, maybe the firmware is not able to write the flow on the card.

    please, check if there is a DefaultApp.json file in it.

    Hi Niccolò @niccolo.ruffini​ ,

    Thanks for the answer, unfortunately formatting the SD card before using it doesn't help. There is no DefaultApp.json file after setting the firmware. What else could be the problem?

    Thanks for your help and best regards,

    Hi Carla @CTett.1​ ,

    let me try to ask you a few question to understand

    1- are you able to read/write the sdcard without using the sensortile.box?

    2- what class and size is the sdcard?

    3- if you upload a new application I imagine that you get an error, but what if you connect to the board? is there the new application running, or the previous one?

    Hi Carla,

    sorry for the delay in the answer, the json file is not what I'd expect, I fear that an sdcard of that type is not supported

    can I ask you why do you think the problem in writing speed is due to the sdcard?
