SD CARD format and file upload

[mecreator2]

He guys,

Im having only a MAC and Windows7 computer without SD-CARD slot
i hope somebody can tell me the following :

sd card formatting : FAT / FAT32 /ExFAt etc ?

and what kind of file format upload/copy to the sd card : gcode, g or something else ?

The problem is the following, i insert the card and it shows me the card, but not the files on it(i uploaded gcode files)
Then i tried via repetier host (the latest) to upload it to the card which was inserted into the printer.

Any tips or tricks are appreciated .... its a 1Gb SD Card

And ive got the MeCreator2

FAT32 is the format the card needs to be in. FAT also worked for me, but FAT32 will allow the use of larger cards.
I am using a 1G and an 8G without issues.
When you upload the file you must include the extension .gco.

I initially was using the SD card a lot but found it easier to just attach an old PC to the printer and print via the USB cable.

Good luck
