I have had some reports of "Error nr.5" while using evmonitor and logging data.
I went out and bought couple of SD cards trying to reproduce the error, and I think I figured it out.The error occurs only when logging to the SD card is on, there is a SD card in the palm handheld, and the SD card is not compatible with the palm.
According to specification the palm m500 (m505 and m515) can handle SD cards up to 1GB.
The newer model SDHC card are not even recognized when inserted in the palm.
The normal SD cards above 1GB seem to be recognized, depending on manufacturer, but when any app tries to access and write to the card a system error occurs. So make sure you are using normal SD cards (and not the SDHC ones) and make sure their capacity is maximum 1GB.
