<p>Hannah, we (Chelonia) have just tested this dis-continuous logging option and it is broken in the latest version of the embedded code for one of the micro-controllers.  We are working on a fix that can be applied via code on an SD card. Apologies!</p>

<p>Unlike the CPODs, it is good practice to re-format your SD cards every time you deploy your FPOD to ensure all files are deleted before use. If you have other files on your SD card (like FP1 files) I think the setting files can get confused.</p>

<p>I am attempting to program an FPODs software to record periodically at 1 min out of 2, but when we save the specific settings file &quot;F_SETS.txt&quot;, the POD doesn't read it automatically (as I believe the software guide indicates) and instead keeps recording continuously. The txt file contains a line of code that reads &quot;recording = 128; 1 min of 2&quot;. Any help is appreciated.</p>

I am attempting to program an FPODs software to record periodically at 1 min out of 2, but when we save the specific settings file "F\_SETS.txt", the POD doesn't read it automatically (as I believe the software guide indicates) and instead keeps recording continuously. The txt file contains a line of code that reads "recording = 128; 1 min of 2". Any help is appreciated.

If you are already doing this, then reach out to Chelonia.
