SD card datalogger
This example shows how to log data from three analog sensors
- to an SD card mounted on the Arduino Yun using the Bridge library.
+ to an SD card mounted on the Arduino Yún using the Bridge library.
The circuit:
- * analog sensors on analog ins 0, 1, and 2
- * SD card attached to SD card slot of the Arduino Yun
+ * analog sensors on analog pins 0, 1 and 2
+ * SD card attached to SD card slot of the Arduino Yún
+
+ Prepare your SD card creating an empty folder in the SD root
+ named "arduino". This will ensure that the Yún will create a link
+ to the SD to the "/mnt/sd" path.
You can remove the SD card while the Linux and the
sketch are running but be careful not to remove it while
