Re: RTC does not start?

Wow - that's confusing. On the older boards, VBACK used to be called VBAT. VIN/VUSB/VBAT should all be alternate power sources for the onboard regulator. The 3V3 pin is powered from that regulator. Maybe that's why i wire wrong :roll:, i've gathered information in posts but i was not paying attenti...

Re: RTC does not start?

Re: SDcard writing file, need to bee unmounted on windows?

Thank you guys, now i got it! In short terms: pyboard have some "stream limitations" to files manipulation from buffer to storage that the mounting process from host don't see, right? I assume that will happens on *nix system as well, right? I will emulate the file behavior with a UART port, so i ju...
