Note: Astrid ships with a preformatted USB drive, you only require these instructions if are reformatting that drive (in which case back it up first), or if you need a second USB drive.
The flash drive is used to store astrometry files, images taken, log files, and video. Because the video is written raw, high throughput is critical, and a regular USB flash drive will not be fast enough.
Never remove the flash drive without shutting down Astrid first.
Suggested Flash Drives: USB Drive Requirements
To format the USB Flash Drive, you must use the Astrid Tool designed for the purpose to format, layout the drive and copy needed files:
On the Astrid Desktop in "Astrid Tools", double tap(or double click) "Format USB Flash Drive" and follow instructions.
Please add any needed telescope configurations in the configs folder. Currently, these have to be entered manually in the .json files.
