SDCard Benchmarks

Brand: PNY
Type: Micro SDHC
Size: 16GB
Class: 10
Axoloti says: write BW : 186 kB/s

Brand: SanDisk
Type: Micro Ultra SDHC I
Size: 32GB
Class: U1
Axoloti says: write BW : 495 kB/s
Axoloti says: read BW : 2016 kB/s

The downside of that SanDisk one is that it's slightly thicker than most Micro SD cards I've seen and just barely fits into the slow on the axoloti. I've also had it get stick in the adapter that came with the PNY once, badly enough that I needed pliers to get it out. So that's something to be aware of if you're shopping for one.

EDIT: when using wave/play to stream audio from the SanDisk card I experience the bug others have reported where the Axoloti immediately crashes.

#21

Where do I find the 'remote' so I can format the card?
Im on osx, and Axo 1.0.11 its not under 'window'

Cheers

#22

Sorry, the 'remote' is removed in 1.0.11 since it was not up-to-date anymore.
As a workaround, to format an sdcard with axoloti:

  • create an empty patch
  • add a "script/script2" object, and click the edit button on the script object
  • put this in the script:
    void setup(){
    FRESULT err = f_mkfs(0, 0, 0);
    if (err == FR_OK) LogTextMessage("format done");
    else report_fatfs_error(err,"");
    }
    void loop(){}
  • click the "live" button
  • After several seconds, "format done" appears in the main window.

I will add an object to the factory object library to format cards.

I see that nowadays there are these USB-holders for microSD cards, also for UHS-II.
Would it be possible to use these with the USB-input of the axoloti to get these high-speed transfer rates of the UHS-II?

#27

Don't think this will be possible, as the big USB port is host only.
Might work with a firmware rewrite, but think this will be quite a lot of work.
