/* SD card datalogger

This example shows how to log data from three analog sensors to an SD card mounted on the YunShield/Yún using the Bridge library.

The circuit: * analog sensors on analog pins 0, 1 and 2 * SD card attached to SD card slot of the YunShield/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 the system is writing to it.

void loop() { // make a string that start with a timestamp for assembling the data to log: String dataString; dataString += getTimeStamp(); dataString += " = ";

// read three sensors and append to the string: for (int analogPin = 0; analogPin < 3; analogPin++) { int sensor = analogRead(analogPin); dataString += String(sensor); if (analogPin < 2) { dataString += ","; // separate the values with a comma } }

// open the file. note that only one file can be open at a time, // so you have to close this one before opening another. // The FileSystem card is mounted at the following "/mnt/FileSystema1" File dataFile = FileSystem.open("/mnt/sd/datalog.txt", FILE_APPEND);

// if the file is available, write to it: if (dataFile) { dataFile.println(dataString); dataFile.close(); // print to the serial port too: SerialUSB.println(dataString); } // if the file isn't open, pop up an error: else { SerialUSB.println("error opening datalog.txt"); }

// read the output of the command while (time.available() > 0) { char c = time.read(); if (c != '\n') { result += c; } }
