SD Card keeps going into Read Only (RO)
Just received Buddy 3D Camera... Formatted the SD Micro card, inserted, turned on camera (after install/wifi/linked up to Prusa Connect).
It was taking snapshots, then I restarted the camera and now the card is in Read Only mode.
Why does it do this?
Firmware Version 3.1.4
Hardware Version NB.1.0.1

Response from support:
It looks like you've run into a known software limitation with the Buddy3D camera. The developers are aware of bugs surrounding both the timelapse functionality and the camera restart behavior, which currently causes your custom settings to revert. Fixes for these specific features are on our roadmap and will be addressed in upcoming firmware updates throughout the year.
RE:
Frankly speaking this is a hard problem, because camera will cause corrupted writes to FAT partitions on the microsd due to the incorrect system shutdown.
The only valid option is to have a battery backup connected to the camera and initiate shutdown if the main power is cut off and the system switches to the battery mode and imitates immediate shutdown.
Standalone buddy cams had battery, but the one shipped with the printers - such as Core One or Core One L - do not.
See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.
