Storing Data (Images / Audio)

Other Hardware Storage
1

Hi,

I am new to arduino and just bought a Nano V3.0 ATmega328P-AU Microcontroller Board. Does anyone know about it? Just wanted to know the script for storing data like images and audio onto it. I have Arduino - 1.0.5 - r2 - windows installed already.

Also my device is not appearing on 'my computer'. Do i need to install a driver or some sort for it to appear?

Thanks

Hello!
To answer your questions in order.

  1. So basically what you are trying to accomplish, is to make an Arduino a USB storage device?
  2. There are 2 ways of installing the Arduino IDE. a) Zip File b) Installer
    if you chose A),
    Make sure you unplug your arduino.
    Plug it back in. (If using Windows 7, it should say something like: "Installing Driver software."
    Go to : start, right click computer and press manage.
    Go to Device Manager.
    Find your Arduino board.
    Right click the Arduino board and press: "Update Driver Software" And done.

If using b)
Make sure you're arduino is plugged in DURING the installation.
The installer should give you an option along the lines of:
"download IDE"
"Download Driver"
Make sure you're "Download Driver" Box is checked!
continue installation as usual.
Have fun! :slight_smile:

Kind regards,

Just wanted to know the script for storing data like images and audio onto it.

Where is this data coming from? What are you going to do with it? Have you looked at how much (not, that is) memory the Arduino has?

Hi,

Sorry for the late response. i've been busy with work lately. So yeah thanks i've managed to get it to work and to upload scripts onto it. However, i have decided not to go ahead with the storage of images and audio onto the nano. Instead i have decided to go ahead with attaching a 2.2" TFT LCD Display onto it. the original post link is here

I have been getting troubles and need some help fixing it.

Cheers
