RemovableMedia.Insert / Eject event

Hi,

Can you help me getting the Insert / Eject event to work? Nothing appears in the output window when inserting or removing my SD-Card.

Regards

This is not supported for SD cards. You will need a thread that will check sd card availability and issue the events yourself.

use this to detect if an SD card is inserted:


          while (!PersistentStorage.DetectSDCard())
          {
          Debug.Print("Please Insert SD card!");
          Thread.Sleep(1000);
          }

I don’t think they have this for SD media… The GHI demo uses the persistent storage class and uses “detect media” to ascertain if a card is inserted or not… You could set up a class to poll the SD card and return the media status…

Cheers Ian

P.S. some cards are not detected… read the class help in the object browser.

Ok, since I didn’t like the idea of spawning a thread for card detection I’ve worked out the following class by using InterruptPort. Maybe the InterruptPort spawns a thread anyway (and I think it does since you can enable the glitch-filter).

@ Wouter this looks pretty good. Would you mind if I threw a modified version this into Pyxis?

Maybe on fezzer.com too

No problem, go ahead. That Pyxis looks nice. Too bad I didn’t ordered a LCD with my Fez Cobra.

Thanks, I’ll be sure to credit you in the code

Wouter Huysentruit … I cannot find any other way to contact you.

Sorry …
But on your Fezzer Sunrise/Sunset calculation there are problems:

#1. The source code on download is lock-out eg classes are greyed out.
#2. The sunrise and sunset times are reversed. It is not the print statement in your example but comes from the source code greyed out.
#3. The sunrise if off by 8 minutes and the sunset time is off by 11 minutes by using several on-line web-based sunrise/sunset calculators.
