The project described in the following link started me thinking how useful it would be if the PICAXE supported commands to interface with SD cards via the SPI port. There has recently been a lot of discussion on the forum about how to use dedicated SD card interface modules and most of the complexity seems to be associated with the type of powerful random access features offered by FAT16 etc.
However, there must be lots of data logging applications that don’t need random access, where using the SD card like some form of big eeprom (or cassette tape!) would be quite acceptable. The PICAXE would be even more useful if this type of simple SD support was embedded.
