    Hello Crew!

    Ok, we use 32MB SanDisk CompactFlash cards to pull imagines from our RJ3 Controllers which works but you need to insert the card twice due to size constraints. I recently went out and bought a 32GB SanDisk Extreme CompactFlash to eliminate this, however I just went to take a backup and it says there isn't enough space on the card when its inserted? Any suggestions on this would be great.

    Thanks,

    I hate to ask, but did you format the card with the robot?

    That card is way too big for that era of controller. I believe it has to be 4gb or lower, and formatted in the FAT file system.

    Check out the Fanuc position converter I wrote here! Now open source!

    As Nation said, the 32GB is way too big. Normally for R-J3, a 32MB CF with PCMCIA adapter should work. When CF cards start to fail, they can give similar errors. I've limped along enough to get a backup with a failing card by reformatting multiple times with the robot controller. For your R-J3, I would purchase multiple additional 32MB or 64MB cards which are now longer made and very likely used. Larger cards take longer to format. As Doctor_C mentioned, always format the CF in the robot controller.

    What size FROM/SRAM memory does this controller have? (Status > F1[Type] > Memory > F2 Detail)
