SD Card not installed about espixelstick

[thughes2001]

If the card is not installed, how can the firmware read it then not?

[MartinMueller2003]

There has been a seperate conversation on this. It looks like the problem is the code starts to read the SD card. The low level driver encounters an error with the data coming from the SD card and gives up. There is nothing the V4 code can do about this. I know I am using the same version and have now tested as many as 75 files on the SD card without issues.

I suspect there is a file with some odd encoding in it that causes an issue.
Please create an image file of your SD card and send it to me so I can install it and see what is happening.

I would love to send the image but having a problem with the size of the image file. Tried Google sharing, tried Dockbox. No luck with either. Dockbax said 20hrs to upload.

Is there a preferred Micro SD card to use with EXPixelStick when using SD card?Tim Hughes On Thursday, January 18, 2024 at 10:28:50 AM EST, Martin Mueller ***@***.***> wrote: There has been a seperate conversation on this.

Most of my SD cards are Sandisk Ultra 16GB.
Can you send me the three files before it stops reading and the next three files it would read?

[thughes2001]

Not sure how to get the files you are asking for since the flash is a Bin if I am right. this is the serial output. 15:45:53: [FileMgr] 'ws2801.html.gz':     '1492' 15:45:53: [FileMgr] 'ws2811.html.gz':     '1577' 15:45:53: [FileMgr] SD Card Size: 7580MB 15:45:53: [FileMgr] > System Volume Information 15:45:53: [FileMgr]   WPSettings.dat - 12 15:45:53: [FileMgr]   IndexerVolumeGuid - 76 15:45:53: [FileMgr] test.txt - 1048576 15:45:53: [FileMgr] foo.txt - 13 15:45:53: [FileMgr] hello.txt - 13 15:45:53: [FileMgr] > test 15:45:53: [FileMgr] > FOUND.000 15:45:53: [FileMgr]   FILE0000.CHK - 32768 15:45:53: [FileMgr] Configuration File: '/config.json' loaded. 15:45:54: [  3576][E][sd_diskio.cpp:802] sdcard_mount(): f_mount failed: (3) The physical drive cannot work 15:45:56: [  4076][E][sd_diskio.cpp:126] sdSelectCard(): Select Failed 15:45:57: [FileMgr] No SD card installed 15:45:57: [FileMgr] Configuration File: '/input_config.json' loaded. 15:45:57: [FileMgr] Configuration File: '/output_config.json' loaded. 15:45:57: [FileMgr] Configuration File: '/admininfo.json' saved 176 bytes. 15:45:57: [FileMgr] Configuration File: '/config.json' saved 387 bytes. From what I am seeing, it it trying to use CS @15:45:56? Is it not seeing GPIO5 on the ESP32 used for SD CS. Also the card is an 8GB. I tried to upload the disk image to DropBox but that kept locking up. Doesn't like the size of the file.

Pull the sdcard out of the ESP. Put it in your PC. copy the last displayed file and the first not displayed file into a zip and send it to me. Also, the only files that should be present on the SD card are fseq files.

Maybe This is above my head.I did get the module to show in Diagnostic RGB when driven by a Kulp K16A as the Player with a show upload to the Kulp.I guess that is a win. Just no SD. Was hoping to use the module as a Remote device instead of the Kulp sending all the data.I guess I can use it an ESPixelStick or Wled UNO. they will do the same thing but WLed I can select the pin for Port output.

Just wondering. If you plan on using the ESPixelStick as a remote controller, you would disable Primary Input and configure Secondary Input to FPP Remote. Am I wrong that if the primary is set, ESPixelStick would look for all data from Player and not call for the data on the SDCard? Am I wrong on this. It seems to work with Primary disables and secondary set to FPP Remote and shows up in XLight tool, FPP Connect. Thank you VERY MUCHIt seems to work now Tim Hughes On Thursday, January 18, 2024 at 05:04:08 PM EST, Martin Mueller ***@***.***> wrote: It looks like you are loading the beta 5 version.

If primary is not receiving data, then the ESP uses the secondary input. It is possible to have both set up, use ddp to play something special and then revert to secondary to play an fseq file. People also do this to test. Send test patterns using ddp and when you stop the device syncs to the show. As you have found, you can also leave the primary input disabled.
