The NANO SD is hardware-wise a regular NANO with an microSD card inserted. The microSD card slot is hidden between the two PCBs and fully operational on all NANOs out there. That means every NANO can be upgraded to a NANO SD. As a result the NANO SD is mainly operated like a NANO, it can all do a NANO can plus a bit more. There is nothing completely new about it when you look onto the base operations.

Choice of microSD Card

To avoid lots of system fails caused by worn out consumer microSD cards we restrict microSD cards that can be used in the NANO to the 1GB and 2GB industrial SLC cards from swissbit. They are world-wide available from Mouser. We decided to enforce use of these high endurance cards to avoid having tons of unnecessary support requests and to harm the reputation of the product. We have been through this with the Meteohub products and the Meteobridge PRO and there is simply no reasonable way to avoid buying of these SLC cards.

  • SFSD1024N1BM1TO-I-DF-221-STD (microSD Card, S-450u, 1 GB, SLC Flash, -40°)
  • SFSD2048N1BM1MT-I-ME-211-STD (microSD Card, S-450u, 2 GB, SLC Flash, -40°)
  • SFSD2048N1BM1MT-E-ME-211-STD (microSD Card, S-450u, 2 GB, SLC Flash, -25°)

How to put a microSD card into the NANO?

Inserting the microSD card between the two PCBs can be easily done with the help of a simple to build one-time paper tool. Please read details here or watch the video below.

What can a NANO SD do better than a NANO?

In principle it adds some of the core Meteobridge PRO functions to the NANO, which includes:

  • local storage of data for > 10 years
  • allowing data exports in CSV format
  • generating interactive JavaScript charts

to name the most obvious. Please get an impression how easy and powerful data exports and chart generation works by watching the videos below.

NANO SD new functions

This video shows the most prominent additional functions the NANO gets by adding a microSD card. Operation of the two new tabs "History" and "Graphs" is explained and demoed.

Generating and Uploading

This video shows how data exports and chart generation can be put on a time schedule and how to automatically upload this to your web server via FTP.
