Description

Hi,
Would it be possible to add support for accessing saved logs from the SD card over the serial connection (so the device doesn't need to be turned off and the SD card manually removed)? It would be nice for cases where the logger loses access to a serial connection or wifi.

Essentially, it could be the same thing as what was done for the Artemis logger here: https://github.com/sparkfun/OpenLog_Artemis/issues/33

Research direction

Review the existing logger firmware's SD-card logging and serial/USB interfaces, then compare the linked OpenLog Artemis issue #33 for the intended precedent. Done means saved logs can be accessed over the serial connection without powering off the device or removing the SD card.
