How to write out data Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

Hello. I am new to CLUE and CircuitPython. I want to write the accel/gyro data out to an external device. As opposed to using the internal storage, which has limited space. Some info on using Storage was offered in another post. Can you connect a memory stick to CLUE via an adapter and write to that? I have an adapter. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You could add an SDCard adapter using the SPI pins and a couple digital pins on the edge connector. Then just use the SD card support and Storage.

So, once the data is recorded to the internal flash, how do I download it to my Mac for analysis?

If you use an SD card, you can just move the card to a reader on the Mac.

If you use the flash filesystem, you can just read the file from the mac next time you plug in the USB. It will be on the CIRCUITPY drive.

Is there a project using the storage function that I can look at to see how it’s set up? I don’t have a lot of time to figure this out. Thanks.

There are many more options to read out sensor data from an Adafruit CLUE:
