Mpu 6050 sd data logger - I want to increase the writing speed to the sd card

I am able to get only 200hz write speed . An increase in write speed of atleast 500hz will help in my project.

thanks

Hey Jeos,

I came accross this thread on Arduino.cc, you might be able to find an answer inside.

You can also look at the SDFat lib github repo here, there are several speed configurations you could play with.

Good Luck!
