Hi,
what are you thinking about extending the NXT with an external storage for more
sounds or karthographic data ?
A simple hardware interface NXT==>I2C==>IOPort==>SD-Card is not the problem,

It may work, but it will be very slow. The NXT runs the i2c ports at only
9600kb/s, so the data will trickle to the NXT very slowly.

but how can this supported by operating system (e.g pbLua, NXJ, NXT-G)?
Is it enough to add some routines for fetching data fro external SD-Card or
is it neccessary to implement a full filesystem driver ?

I think that the answer is yes.


I've seen such addon for simple AVR-based systems.

Thanks for more ideas
Bye
Christian

(...) Yes, 9600 bits/s is really slow for storage access. Is there a known way to increase the clock and transferrate of I2C ? Christian (17 years ago, 9-Apr-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
