There is no way to currently do that. Maybe @P-R-O-C-H-Y can think of a way to detect that card is missing when attempted to be accessed, or some way to confirm that is in the slot, but we have not implemented anything of the sort yet.

Thanks for the fast and disappointing answer.

So no nice icon...

Hi @holgerlembke, I guess there is not much more to do other the check return of SD_MMC.begin() and try to read something. You can use the exists method on ten root of the sd. So if the card was mounted and the exists fails, the card is no longer mounted. Of course having the CardDetect pin available and connencted to GPIO would be the best solution, as you can also have interrupts on that.

Oh, exists(), I'll try that.

Still, looks ugly. https://github.com/holgerlembke/WaveShareFrameWork/blob/ca6b3e3e696ac101829f765227e0d3fe8638217b/FFsRtc.ino#L20

For the WaveShare ESP32-S3 1.8inch AMOLED: they already have added a port extender because no free gpio... TCA9554/8-bit is fully used for important stuff.

(I dont really see why they routed the RTC IRQ to the TCA9554, because, well, the TCA has no IRQ routed so the RTC hardware IRQ will end there. What could I archive with that IRQ if I need to read it from the TCA? A wake up event could be better done in software. But what do I know.)
