I've now had an Sandisk Extreme Plus SD card running on a Raspberry Pi B+ for nearly 3 years straight without a problem.
http://www.threefools.org/weewx/status/index.html And, today marks one year of continuous uptime for weewx in this test! There are two conclusions to making these cards work: - Get a good one. I know it seem ironic to spend $30 on storage for a $35 computer, but it makes a big difference. - Use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). It doesn't have to be a very big one, but expect to spend another $50. So your $35 computer, once it's kitted out with a power supply, WiFi adapter, UPS, and memory card, is more like a $150 computer. But, the good news is that it's not necessary to buy a hard drive. Incidentally, in the one year that weewx has been up, it's memory usage has grown from VIRT 49.7MB to 52.7MB, RES from 32MB to 39MB. It has used almost 1136 hours of CPU time, for an average duty cycle of about 13%. -tk -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
