==File (SD/SDHC Card) component==
File component allowing access to read and write files on a SD/SDHC card.   Also compatible with micro SD/SDHC cards, please note the pin layout is subtely different for these. The component automatically detects the filesystem on the card on initialise so FAT16 and  FAT32 are fully supported. When used in simulation provides read/write access to files on the local windows file system.

==Examples==












===Reading data from a text file===

Example to read a text file from a SD card or from a text file in simulation and display on a 16 x 2 character LCD. The text file needs to be in the same directory as the Flowcode .fcfx project file for the simulation to run correctly.

===Parsing a standard .BMP image file===

Example to read a bitmap image file from a SD card or from a bitmap file in simulation and display on a graphical LCD. The bitmapfile needs to be in the same directory as the Flowcode .fcfx project file for the simulation to run correctly.

===Data logger Simple===

Example showing how to take a collection of analogue readings and save them into a text based file, the simple way.

===Data logger Advanced===

Example showing how to take a collection of analogue readings and save them into a text based file, the fast way.

===Log Keypad Presses===

Example showing how to poll a keypad for key presses. Each key press is shown on an LCD and appended to a log file as an ASCII character using the FAT component.
{{Fcfile|Keypad2FAT.fcfx|Keypad Press Log}}
===Streaming Audio Files===

Example showing how to steam out .wav audio files from an SD card using a 16-bit @ 16KHz file format. A free program such as Audacity can be used to create or edit the .wav files.

|-
| colspan="2" | Specifies the way the ReadByteFromFile function indicates the end of a file. 8 Bit mode - End of the file is represented by the value 0, read multiple times to confirm that the 0 is not simply data. 16 Bit mode - End of file is represented by the value 512 allowing the values 0 - 255 to represent valid data.&nbsp;
