Another SD Card logging issue - Please help me troubleshoot

Hi guys, I've read through various threads on this subject and none of the suggested solutions have solved my issue.

My current configuration has just the default Lua script and nothing else, various channels etc. But I'm not getting anything logged to the SD card.

My SD card is a 128GB card formatted as exFAT, I reformatted the card, and have tried a different 64GB microSD card known to work in my goPro but to no avail. When I push the action button on the device while looking at the log screen on the scripting window I get the following entries repeated hundreds of times.

Any ideas?

Code: Select all

fileWriter.c: Opening log file
fileWriter.c: FS init error: 13
fileWriter.c: Remounting FS due to write error.
fileWriter.c: Opening log file

Ok so I think I have got this solved. I shrunk the volume on the SD card to below 32GB and then formatted with Fat32. Now I seem to be logging.

Does this mean we are limited to 32GB SD cards? Is that something that will be updated in the future through firmware?

Glad you got it figured out! Yes, 32GB is the size limit. Freshly formatted cards are always a good thing to do as a first troubleshooting step.
