Micro SD to SD adapter for OpenLog logger.

I built a portable receiver for $50SAT so that I am not tied to a PC for listening for packets.

For field use the received data can be directed to a PC file on a Micro SD card via an OpenLog Logger.

However, Micro SD cards are hardly ideal for field use and I would much prefer to send the output to the much larger SD card type.

I found an adapter, see picture, for around £12.

Can anyone think of a different solution ?

Hi,

I'm not sure if it's what you are looking for, but micro to normal SD(HC) adapters are available quite cheaply (around £1), or often "free" with a microSD card. Here is an example but there are many others.

EDIT: Ah, I see what you want to do now. Could you perhaps just glue (Araldite) the microSD onto a much larger (passive) "tag" (that is easier to handle) which will plug into the OpenLog or into an SD adapter?

Cheers, Alan.

Open Log devices are available that use regular size SD cards. I have used several and they work fine. Much easier to get the card in and out and the way to go is size isn't an issue.

Another option would be to build the adapter you have into the radio box. That way nothing would be hanging out but the edge of the SD card.
