      Hi I'm just wondering which microSD card with size od 16 or 8 GB is recommended for WiPy 2.0 V2.1A ??? Asking cause I couldn't get my old Nokia card to work and it will be nice to get additional space. As cheap as possible please.

      Regards, Horacy :)

      PS. If no problem please show me link on elara.ie. Here link to Flash Cards:

        there is not such thing like recommended card.
        Use as much size you have but remember that current limit is 32GB.

        Question can be about speed - but this should not matter when firmware driver will be stable.
        Someone mentioned that class 10 not cause problems

        I self use 2GB not class 10 and it work without problems
        but i write to it rather seldom

        about some problems look e.g. here
        https://forum.pycom.io/post/9106

        think about people first, then computers

            @kop524 IK use an 8 GB class and an 16 GB class 10 card, without any difference in usage behavior, for good and for bad. Before use, it's better to format them with a single partition FAT file system, plain vanilla.

                    @kop524 No clue. But card access of Wipy/Lopy is slow, so there ist no need to use a fast card.
