Microcontroller for writing to Compact Flash cards
Microcontroller for writing to Compact Flash cards
(OP)
Does anyone know of a microcontroller that can read serial input and write to a CompactFlash (CF) card ?
I would prefer some form of BASIC language but anything will do.
The card requires a 10-12 bit data rate of around 300 Hz.

Chris

I am really just after a chip that will take the input data and store it on a CF card. I thoight there may be a chip that already has that output format so I would not have to look into the CF spec to see the writing format.

RE: Microcontroller for writing to Compact Flash cards
Did you ever get your PIC and CF to work. I'm doing the same thing, and having difficulty. Mikroelektronika supply's CF routines with their board, which work great, but I'm using a different compiler. Mikroelektronika does not supply source code for their routines and I can't seem to duplicate them. I'm at my wits end. Any help would be appreciated.

I had a lot more success with the PIC 16F876a (although any will do), using PicBASIC Pro and SD or MMC cards for storage. We can write 3 channels @ 100Hz each, without any difficulties.

RE: Microcontroller for writing to Compact Flash cards
Do the SD and MMC cards have the same initialization procedure as the CF? That seems to be where I'm having trouble.
RE: Microcontroller for writing to Compact Flash cards
So I dont know the initialisation procedures for the CF but certainly the SD and MMC are very easy. You send a CMD0. However the exceedingly unhelpful product manual at:

needs to be waded through. I have a BASIC program that may help you if you contact me at
