sensor output data logger using dsPIC30F6015 and SD card

[Darkon]

I'm new here, and I need some serious help. My senior year main project is "sensor output data logger using dsPIC30F6015 and SD card". We're supposed to develope a code in MPLAB C30 for dsPIC30F6015 and SD card interface. there are five input channels. We have no clue where to start or how to proceed. So if somebody already has the code, then please help us with it, if not, then please tell me what study materials we should use and how to proceed.

I don't see what's so hard about this concept. I admit that I'd need some help here (for sure), but what do you mean you don't know where to start?

Do you know C?
Have you ever used the C30 compiler?
Have you ever used the dsPIC30s?
Have you ever used sensors?
Have you ever used an SD card in projects?

I'd imagine it's just a matter of taking the sensor readings every so often and writing them to the SD Car.

Start with this:
Engineering Project Topics and Project Ideas: Reading and writing SD card using Atmega16

I know C and I've used sensors before, the problem is that we haven't used MPLAB C30 or dsPIC mcu before. what we need is a C30 compatible code for an SD Card read-write interface

Microchip has a large library of app notes & code samples including SD card stuff.

well that is the first problem...we don't know where to begin

Download the manual for a dsPIC development board, this will include schematics and info on how to get started.
