Hi Steve,
actually my JustFATLogging app breaks with just these two lines in
JustFATLoggingC:

components GpsC as GpsMod;
JustFATLoggingP.Gps           -> GpsMod.Gps;

and of course adding

interface Gps;

and

async event void Gps.NMEADataAvailable(char * data) {}

in the JustFATLoggingP.


I'm not even wiring the GpsInit interface, nor I ever call its init, so my
app doesn't ever access to the GPS.
Can your application, with only such changes, write on the SD card on your
shimmer2r ?

Thanks again, kind regards,
Andrea.
