Hi everyone,
This may be a silly question, but I was wondering if it’s possible to have a Gadgeteer device appear as a USB drive when plugged into a PC. For example, if I attach a SD Card/Card Reader to a main board; then, plug the main board into a PC using a USB cable; can I have the PC mount the Gadgeteer’s SD card as a USB Drive? I was interested in using this technique to share files between the PC and the Gadgeteer.
The full use case is something like:
- Plug Gadget into PC
- Periodically, PC writes data to Gadget’s SD Card
- Gadget notices file creation/written, picks up file and sends contents of file to a well-known web service; deletes file upon completion.
The mirror image is also something I’m interested in.
- Plug Gadget into PC
- Periodically, Gadget receives a web service call and writes the contents of the call to its SD Card.
- PC is able to access content of SD Card
Long story short, I’m trying to enable web service support for some really ancient computing platforms; and Gadgeteer seems like a pretty attractive, low-cost, option.
