Hello,
The question is simple: I'm looking for a relatively simple microcontroller
with proper SD card support, for logging some basic data (switching LEDs
on, waiting for a button to be pressed, and loggin the timing between these
events).
In the past, I've built something based on an Atmel controller and Ronald
Riegel's SD software stack (http://www.roland-riegel.de/sd-reader/ ), but
the programming guru I worked with found this a bit too frugal in all, and
wasn't quite certain it was fully stable. I did the job though, but I
thought I'd look for something more modern anyway.
I found NXP's LPC1758 and LPC1768 controllers, but these are frankly
overkill for the job. If it weren't for the SD card, I could easily do the
whole thing in the cheapest PIC controller.
Since I'm better at hardware than at software, I thought I'd ask here for
some hints to point me in the right direction. Basically, I need a simple
controller with proven reliable SD card support. Does anyone around here
have any tips or preferences?
Thanks in advance, best regards,
Richard Rasker
