Hey, I'm running into an issue when attempting to connect the device to WiFi (might be on my end). The device is on, the WiFi network shows on my computer, but when I try connecting to paperledger.local whilst connected to PaperLedger's network, it shows either a blank white screen, "domain not found" or "no internet". I got the same result on both my computer and my phone. Any ideas?

Hi StackGambler,

Have you tried browsing through the device IP? It should be 192.168.1.1 (http://192.168.1.1)
Note that its not "https", some browsers redirect to https by default.

If you are using a VPN or similar the IP's may clash and it will give similar symptoms to what you are describing.
Seems unlikely since you mentioned that both the phone and pc give the same results but on the phone it may be a DNS issue.

To further debug please do the following:
1 - Connect to the PaperLedger network
2 - Open a terminal/command prompt
3 - If on windows type ipconfig, if on mac/linux type ifconfig (if ifconfig does not work type ip addr)
4 - Look for the wireless interface and see if there is any ip's mentioned on the gateway entry
5 - Type ping ip (ping 192.168.1.1)
6 - If ping does not come with a time out message it means that your computer is able to "see" the device and you should be able to browse it using http://192.168.1.1

Thank you for the prompt and detailed reply! Browsing through the device's IP worked like a charm; I added a bitcoin ticker and the device looks great. Thanks for this Smiley it's perfect! Do shoot me a PM when you come out with a version that has a battery; I'll be the first to buy it.

Glad you got it working Smiley

And here is a little teaser:


My wallet is ready, waiting.... when your battery-powered model will be ready.  Grin

Will this model work with external power source (usb cable) as well? will I have to manually disconnect the battery (in order to plug it to a power source)?  Or I will be able to plug it into power, even with the battery attached? (model will have something like an internal switch, when external power is discovered, to disable the battery source)
