sd card limits #66

Closed mattdog01 closed 6 years ago

mattdog01 commented 6 years ago

Is there a limit to the size, type or format of an SD card used on the MKS-Robin? I have a new 64gig sdxc card and the Robin can't see any of the files. :( I have a 2nd card, smaller and straight SD and it works just fine. Thanks for any help you can give.

Now im using 32gb and works good but I dont know if could support 64 gb sorry mate.

mattdog01 commented 6 years ago

Thanks for the info valentinoo0. I guess 64gb is pushing the limits. All the best.

After a bit of research I found out that the Robin needs FAT32 file partitions and that Windows with not partition in FAT32 above 32Gig SD cards. I found a utility that for now is free to use and it worked perfectly. I reformatted my 64 Gig SD card in FAT32 and it works like a charm. The utility is called "AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition 7.5.1". SO if you want to use a large SD card with your Robin this works. Happy Printing.
