[WTS] PaperLedger - Open source custom made crypto price ticker with alarms

[StackGambler]

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 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.

And here is a little teaser:

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

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)

Hey tweetious,

Yes the battery version will work with both external power source and the battery at the same time, no need to disconnect it.
When connected to an external power source it will charge the battery (very similar to charging a phone).
There is a power switch that is not used at the moment that needs to be made functional since, with battery, the device will be on all the time, although this probably can be handled with software by putting the device into sleep mode.

Where is price data pulled from? My PaperLedger shows the price of BTC as $4704 (it's been refreshing, and in that range for the last few minutes) even though the current price is $5,000+ on most major exchanges (Bitfinex, Bitstamp, Coinbase, etc). Think it's a bug, or am I just missing something? I also tried removing and re-adding the ticker.

Hi StackGambler,

The prices are pulled from CoinGecko, I have noticed the same thing yesterday and CoinGecko was showing the same price ~$4700.
Was weird that when the website first loaded it was showing ~$5000 then quickly changed to ~$4700, seems to be a bug on their end.

[Mitchell]

I've received my PaperLedger a few days ago and I've been very pleased with it. I did notice that weird price that was displayed because of CoinGecko, so I'll try and add BitcoinAverage to the device.

Having an odd issue every now and then. The ledger will go to the connecting to internet screen and stay there. None of the buttons work when this happens. A 1 second pull of the USB cable and plugging it back in and it's good to go.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Same here. Pretty minor issue, but annoying when it happens.

Does the device go to the "Welcome to PaperLedger" screen or the "No Internet" screen?
None of the 4 buttons work? At least the left button should work as its hardwired to the reset pin on the board.
The ok button (3 button from left to right) its also mapped through software and should take you to the setup menu.
If the ok button does not work it seems that the device is getting stuck.
Is this consistent? Say after 2 weeks the issue happens?

Thanks for reporting this issue.

I don't think any of the buttons work. Next time it happens I will give them all a good push to test again. Since pulling the USB and putting it back in works that has been my regular fix.
I don't know if it's consistent, but it does happen regularly say once every few days. Not sure if it's every "X" days or "X" hours. I'll pay more attention.
Now that you ask I am not 100% sure of which screen it is on, next time it happens I will let you know.

Thanks
Dave

[DaveF]

Just happened now.
It is this screen:


The left button does work.

-Dave

[DaveF]

And I came into the office this morning and it was on that screen again.
Seems to be random. But I really don't know if it went off @ 7:01 PM last night as I walked out or 8:45 AM this morning just before I walked in

If you have a chance please flash the firmware.bin file located at: https://github.com/AIFanatic/PaperLedger/files/3121298/firmware.zip

The update can be performed through the web portal->settings->update firmware

This build includes the ticker updated time which should provide some more information on what could be happening. (thanks BitcoinMitchell for putting the effort into the project)

Also, if possible, can you let me know the wifi signal strength of the device? (setup->status->network signal) I suspect it may be getting stuck while fetching the tickers.

Updated the firmware.

Signal -40dBm
Will keep you posted about the going to the attempting to connect screen.
And it turns out it looks like I have a dead line of pixels on top or is this just the way it's being displayed?



Thanks,
Dave

So, it's been 2 weeks or so. No more crashing / so the new firmware seems to have fixed it.
Still has the line. Anyone else seeing it?
