			If you have problems logging data, try the following:

			* If there is a write protect switch on the card, ensure it is not set to 'read only'.
			* If you get random, corrupted data in the log file, try performing a clean FAT32 format of the SD card and try again. You can also try a different SD card.
			* If you see the red LED flicker or illuminate during logging, especially during high sample rates, try a different SD card, preferably a high quality, high speed card.
			* Enable the logging feature in the app (in the scripting view) to see any specific messages about logging, this may aid in troubleshooting.

	** Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.~~0 inch T337 - good choice with 4G LTE~~		===Lower end recommendation===
	* Google Nexus		For the extremely budget racer you can also use the Amazon fire tablet. While it has a lower quality screen, the processor is reasonably fast, making it a good value for the cost.
