In this video I show you how to increase the available memory of the ESP8266 by using an 8gb micro SD card to store data. Typically, when working with sensor data and microcontrollers we need at least one of the following:
- Storing data for a long time
- Working with large-sized files such as images
- Having the data available even if the device loses power
Though we've seen how to do this using the SPI Flash File System (youtu.be/pfJROpQg-Is), we might need more than the maximum 16MB available. In this case, we can add an SD card adapter, and work with flash memory cards capable of storing gigabytes of data.
In this tutorial I work with a DHT11 Temperature and Humidity sensor to collect temperature data that is stored onto an 8GB microSD card. Using the WeMos Family of boards, I connect a sensor shield as well as a microSD card adapter shield onto the ESP8266. I then use the Arduino IDE to gather sensor data and store it onto the SD card.
