I am attempting to take the LowLatencyLogger from the SdFat library and separate it from the serial monitor. Ideally I would turn on my device, it would run for a specified time, covert to CSV, and then I would cycle power for the next run.
At line 394, I have changed it from
if (Serial.available()) {
closeFile = true;
}
to
if (logTime > 10000000) {
closeFile = true;
}
The code creates a bin file without any data.
Here is my setup and loop
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void setup(void) {
if (ERROR_LED_PIN >= 0) {
pinMode(ERROR_LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
}
SerialUSB.begin(9600);
// Allow userSetup access to SPI bus.
pinMode(SD_CS_PIN, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(SD_CS_PIN, HIGH);
// Setup sensors.
userSetup();
// Initialize at the highest speed supported by the board that is
// not over 50 MHz. Try a lower speed if SPI errors occur.
if (!sd.begin(SD_CS_PIN, SD_SCK_MHZ(50))) {
sd.initErrorPrint(&SerialUSB);
fatalBlink();
}
// Blink a Couple Times.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
logData();
binaryToCsv();
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void loop(void) {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(250); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(250); // wait for a second
}
I think the issue has to do something with my if statement: if (micros() > 10000000) {
The program gets to the loop function if I run 10,000,000 micros, but it only takes about a second to get there. It doesn't run if I set it to 20,000,000.

I have tested the following code and it does exit the while loop:
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
bool closeFile = false;
while(1){
if (micros() > 30000000) {
closeFile = true;
}
if (closeFile) {
break;
}
}
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(250); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(250);
}
If your timing is that long, switch to millis() and make you numbers smaller. You need to be aware of how large your constants are becoming. You can also mark them with 'UL' (e.g. 30000000UL) to make sure the compiler treats them as unsigned long values
