Possible for ESP8266 to Emulate an SD Card Like Eye-Fi?
Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2017 3:06 pm
I'm trying to get an Eye-Fi card and a Toshiba FlashAir card to work in a 3D printer with absolutely no luck. These boards time out, and have all sorts of quirky stuff going on that makes them unreliable.
I'm wondering if it would be possible to set up an ESP8266 so that it appears like an SD card to a device that accepts SD cards.
The idea is that you would "plug" the ESP8266 into a device like a 3D printer, camera, etc., and the contents of the ESP's flash memory would appear to the device as if it were a regular SD card.
Then the ESP8266 could run a file upload/sync program on its MCU that would allow files to be placed into flash memory over WiFI and appear on the SD interface for the device.
Is this possible? Any pointers or info would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
