VIEWING MICROSD IN FILE EXPLORER [WINDOWS}

Post by ademirtas »

Hi there!

When I plug in my SanDisk 32 GB microSD card into my Adafruit Feather M0 Adalogger, I am not able to see the sd card's file pop up:

I am able to create files, storage.mount to it, read from it, and write to it using CircuitPython, but I was wondering if there was a way I could view the files I created on the File Explorer without having to plug the microSD card itself into my computer.

Thanks!

No, unless you provide that capability in the program running on the Feather. The SD card has no direct connection to the outside world.

Thank you for your response!
I was wondering if there is any CircuitPython packages/classes that could allow it to be visible while running the Feather?

We have an issue to add support for this here: https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/issues/3477 It would have the same read and writing restrictions as / does.
