Do any other WiFi cards work? - Beej - 10-26-2017

When I search Amazon for the FlashAir SD card, these other brands show up:  EyeFi, Transcend, and EZ Share.

Has anyone tested these to see if they work?  I attempted to search the forum, but didn't find anything.

They might work.  As far as I know there isn't an industry standard for SD WiFi card commands, making it a "crap shoot" by purchasing another brand.   One member, who posted a few weeks back, stated he tried to save some money and bought something other than the FlashAir and it didn't work,  at least for our use.   Both Sleep Master and FlashPAP were written specifically to match the command structure of the FlashAir.    

By the way, the member had to turn around and buy a FlashAir.

If Flashpap or SleepMaster is not compatible with the other wifi card and if you can access that card through your wifi with your PC, you could roll your own program to transfer those files to your PC for SH to load. On Windows, that could be something as simple as a batch file or robocopy, which is builtin to Windows 10, or more robust like Richcopy. Richcopy is a free utility that builds on Robocopy.

As I recall from back when I was shopping for a card, some of them *only* share image files. That would not work so well for data files.

I can confirm, to my dismay, that the ez Share does NOT work. The lesson cost me 30-odd bucks. [Image: swearing.gif]
