File I/O on tracker/monitor one

Edge Systems
1

Hi,

Sorry if this question is a bit basic, but I haven't found the best practice for this on the Particle device. I want to be able to write a .log file on the device as well as place arbitrary translation files on it. Is this possible, or am I misunderstanding the use case of the device?

Additionally, is it possible or recommended to add an SD card or SIM card to the board? Feel free to tell me if this isn't what the device is meant for—I am just theory crafting at the moment.

Thanks!

The flash file system api can be used to store files on Particle Gen 3 and later devices. On the Tracker One and Monitor One, the file system is 4 MB.

For files that are not generated on-device, such as configuration files, Asset OTA provides a way to send files to the device (only when updated) and store them on-device, up to around 1 MB.
