Does anyone know what the max file size is in the SD Card Module and max number of files? Im hoping not to have to try and work through the code to figure it out!
Thanks.

The module supports FAT16 or FAT32 formats.
For FAT16 the max number of files in the root directory is 512 (subdirectories can have more)
FAT16 file size is limited to 2GB.
FAT32 has a max file size of 4GB and the max number of files in a directory is 65,534

The original documentation mentioned FAT16 support, and the release notes added FAT32 in later versions.
The limits I mentioned are generic FAT16/FAT32 limits, so I assume they apply since the module didn't say otherwise.
The only limit I saw was on the max number of open files (which I think was 127) or until you run out of memory.
