# MicroSD — Text Write Write data to a text file on a microSD card from Soldered Inkplate 6 Flick. ## Overview Mounts a FAT-formatted microSD card and writes a text string to a file. Demonstrates basic file write operations using the ESP-IDF FATFS driver. Confirms success by reading the file back and displaying the contents on the e-paper screen. ## Hardware Required - Soldered Inkplate 6 Flick - USB cable - MicroSD card (FAT32 formatted) ## Setup Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to: **Inkplate Boards → Inkplate6 Flick** ## Build and Flash ``` idf.py build idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` ## Expected Output A text file is created on the microSD card. The written content is read back and displayed on the Inkplate 6 Flick e-paper screen for verification. ## Notes - Insert the microSD card before powering on. - Writing to a file that already exists will overwrite its content. ## Resources - Docs: https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate - Support: https://forum.soldered.com/ - Image tool: https://tools.soldered.com/tools/image-converter/
