Hi,
I am playing with a VDrive2 module which I would like to connect to a PIC for logging temperature and I have read several posts on the subject here. I was inspired by Bill Sherman (Botsmaker) blog and made myself a PCB with a MAX232 on it and connected it up to my PC's serial port using Hyperterminal. Success, it talked first go and I could plug in my USB memory stick and do a DIR etc. I then downloaded the lastest firmware as recommended and renamed it and the VDrive2 found it and installed it. (V3.66VDAP)I then purchased a new memory stick as the previous ones were for other uses and it wouldn't see the file system. It said : Device Detected P2 No Disk and I couldn't get the D:/ to come up. When I put in my other USB sticks I get the correct messages and I can see files. The stick that wouldn't read will work on the USB port on the PC and I can read and write to it.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Paul Waller.
