Qwiic OpenLog - powering up with/without SD

Qwiic System
1

It looks like if a SD card is inserted into the Qwiic OpenLog AFTER power up (PWR light blinking), there is no way to get the OpenLog to recognize the card until it is power cycled. Can someone confirm this?

I tried modifying the library to send the init byte (0x05) in hopes to reboot the OpenLog, but this more or less causes the it to lock up.

The desired result is to be able to insert the card after power up and have my RedBoard send a message to the OpenLog to recognize the card and be able to write data to it. Right now, I need to power cycle with the card inserted before the card is recognized.

Thanks in advance!

You would have to write your own code that uses the Card Detect pin to initialize the writing - Yes, possible, but you’ll have to go find some relevant code implementations and DIY it
