UsbHost.USBDriveConnected

Had a little problem with the Gadgeteer yesterday. I was using the UsbHost to read files from a pendrive and after copying files to the drive, verifying that the files were present and plugging it into the Gadgeteer I discovered that the event which is supposed to fire (USBDriveConnected) never did!

After a lot of head scratching I discovered that the pendrive was formatted in NTFS. The UsbHost software only recognises FAT format drives so be sure to get that bit right when you transfer files to your gadgeteer.
