SparkFun gator:log - Is it pre-programmed?

Other Miscellaneous
1

Hi,

I am interested in using the SparkFun gator:log as a general serial data logger to save all the data I throw at it to a file in the SD card. I was wondering, is it pre-programmed for this or do I need a microbit tool to program it? If it isn’t preprogrammed can I program it without a microbit tool using the Arduino IDE and the serial bootloader on the device?

Many thanks,

David.

A bit of both…yes you can program it using serial commands; see the short guide here https://github.com/sparkfun/pxt-gator-log

That lists the functions you can use with it, and you can also just use the PXT package (also linked on that page) and block-style programming
