Directing the Berg cloud bridge

[Matt-Deacalion]

In README.md it says "First point your bridge at your laptop". How does one do this?

Cheers.

[Matt-Deacalion]

Is there any where I can find out how to do this? as remote.bergcloud.com is down at the moment.

[ryanewing]

I would love to know how to get the new firmware. I don't care if I brick the bridge since I'll be tossing it if I can't revive it.

[sfcgeorge]

An update would be nice. I'm a programmer so just knowing the first steps would be nice.

[davidneudorfer]

+1 My little printer is just collecting dust.

Ok, my intention was to roll out the new Bridge software to everyone... but I'm having trouble understanding how to get the Bridge update servers to do a bulk update. I'll be able to figure it out, it'll just take me some more time.

But I want you all to be able to use this ahead of me figuring that out. So I can manually get you the software if I can get the MAC address of your Bridge.

There are instructions to find the MAC address on the old troubleshooting page -- go down to the header "I’ve plugged in the Bridge, and the ethernet light is flashing constantly" and there are instructions about using software called Bonjour Browser and some alternatives. Get the MAC address and let me know. (Here? Or does github have a private message function? I don't know tbh)

After I've added your MAC address to the update servers, the process is:

• Power cycle the Bridge, and wait some minutes for the update to run. Cross fingers it doesn't get bricked
• Use Bonjour Browser (or equiv) to find the local IP of your Bridge
• Go to the URL (local IP):81/configure

From there you're dropped into step 2 of the Updating the Bridge instructions.

you can then either point your Bridge at my alpha server, or download the code and install it on your own server.

[sfcgeorge]

Thank you, not just letting this hardware die is good of you. MAC: [40:d8:55:19:79:57]

[genmon]

@sfcgeorge have flagged that MAC address for an update -- this is the first time I've used this particular bit of the system, so I hope it works!

[sfcgeorge]

It worked! I got to the /configure page, logged in as per updating the bridge instructions on the wiki. Changing then endpoint isn't working for me, it keeps going back to berg. But remote and bergcloud seem to be working so that's nice for now.

[simonpfry]

Hi Matt, can you add in my mac address please: 40:d8:55:01:cd:fd

This is the first time I've plugged my little printer in for a few months, and I'm no longer getting the 'upstream' light turn on (all others are solid white). Is this because the Bergcloud services are finally turned off or do I have another issue?

Thanks for your hard work keeping this going!

[genmon]

@simonpfry Bridge flagged for update. The old servers are up and down now... not entirely sure why they seem to work for some people and not for others

[simonpfry]

Thanks! Managed to update the software and update the endpoint!

[bskrt]

Hi Matt, Could you add in our mac address too:

40:d8:55:01:cd:22

Thanks.

[genmon]

@bskrt done!

[Matt-Deacalion]

Hi Matt, could you add mine as well:

40:d8:55:01:c2:02

Cheers 😄

[genmon]

@Matt-Deacalion done!

[mellbratt]

Hey @genmon,

Please add 40:d8:55:01:cd:23 as well!

Cheers

[genmon]

@mellbratt done!

[markostamcar]

@genmon please add 40:d8:55:01:c4:f8 :) Thanks!

[genmon]

@markostamcar done! (currently on the road)

[markostamcar]

Yay, it works, thanks! :) Note: The server URL change didn't seem to want to save until I power cycled the bridge one more time.

[interlock]

Would appreciate mine done as well: 40:D8:55:01:C3:40

Anything we can do to help automate this right now?

[genmon]

@interlock done!

tbh I'm happy doing this manually right now, it's nice to have a little contact with folks giving this a go! Going to tackle the automation question after the next focus (which is to pretty up alpha and add a couple of mini features). I say focus like this is a big deal, it's all background work for me still I'm afraid

[markostamcar]

I think you should also post a link to this thread on LP blog so other enthusiastic power users are aware we're already doing the updates :)

[ryanewing]

@genmon can you add 40-D8-55-01-CD-64 for me? Thank you! 👍

[adamstamper]

@genmon Could you add 40:D8:55:01:CF:EA as well? Many thanks!

[genmon]

@adamstamper done!

[genmon]

@ryanewing done!

[adamstamper]

Many thanks @genmon - all working locally, think there may be a db glitch at the moment with alpha.littleprinter as it's giving Internal Server Error when I try to sign in. Thanks for continuing to support this!

[jwy63]

Hi @genmon Could you please add 40:d8:55:01:c0:4d for me? Thanks!

[mattayers]

Ok thanks, someone really needs to take ownership of this project and tidy things up

[YangLuSE]

Now website is online, but it said my printer is offline. LP is double blinking is that correct? Yang Lu

Hello There,
I have one Berg little printer to give... if someone is interested - I'm on Paris.
Julien

[Haunschild]

I would also sell mine (including original packaging and extra paper). Sending from Munich, Germany.

[3DevUK]

Hi there,
Our MAC address is 40-D8-55-19-77-8F.
If this service still exists, would it be possible to add our printer to the server?
Thanks.

Je suis preneur si elle est toujours disponible...

Hi guys! I'm testing something out with little printer and could do with another. Do any of you have a one going spare or that you no longer want?

agreed it does look very kid friendly - but i suspect thats the market they were originally aiming for .. and i also found out that the app is locked to locations in the USA/Canada so this device is of no use for the rest of the world (until they unlock it) - no order from me then. Marc

It will be great to hack it but I don't know if it's possible... maybe with a python or php script from the web! 2018-01-23 9:47 GMT+01:00 Luca <lucabej@gmail.com>:

[mungle]

Can you make “bots” with memobird?

[y-nk]

@Haunschild how much you sell (shipping out) ?

[Haunschild]

Sorry already sold it.

[johndietrich]

I also just got a Memobird, so I think I'm finally going to sell the Little Printer. We've been through a lot together, but it's time. If anyone wants to make an offer just let me know.

One caveat: the config page on the Berg Bridge stopped responding a while ago, so I don't think it's possible to change the IP address pointing to the Sirius server (unless you want to be brave and try to re-flash the firmware on the Bridge.) So don't make an offer unless you can make it work on your LAN with a Sirius server at 192.168.0.99.

:-(

[msmabry]

@johndietrich, i would buy yours at a reasonable price as i've successfully been able to do a firmware flash on a couple of others. please contact me at msmabry at gmail to discuss.

i've procured a memobird as well, and i think it's quite nice, but i worry that their server will one day go away just as berg's did.

at least w/ the little printers, i now have hacked together a viable personal server that seems somewhat stable.

[Dayvehillman]

Hello everyone,

I'm late to this game as I had all but given up on little printer, but every time I look at it in my box of "junk" it breaks my heart. Is there anyone on here who is still successfully using theirs? If so, how can I join you all? I don't know bugger all about computers or code so any simple help would be so amazing!

Cheers!

Dayve

[benpawle]

@Dayvehillman we're working on a fix briefly mentioned down here #26

We're a few weeks away from going public as it's just a side project but we're loving getting our printers working again :)

[Dayvehillman]

@benpawle - This is amazing! I have just had a read and i'm super excited! I live round the corner so would love to pop in one day and drop a case of beer in for you guys! You've literally made my day!`

[Dayvehillman]

@benpawle - Just wondered if you guys had managed to make progress on getting the little printers back in action? I'd still be super keen to bring mine down to you guys to have a look at!

[raphaelmartin]

@benpawle Something new to share? :)

[tom-hat]

Hello everyone!

I share a studio with @benpawle and we've got an update re the little printer bridge over on this thread >> next door. We've published full instructions on how to flash your bridge so that it points to a new server. Alternatively I am offering to do this for £55 (exc return postage).. More info on the other thread, or email me directly at: tom_hatton@outlook(dot)com for further info and to arrange postage / collection!

Since August the guys have been perfecting dithering patterns and its now possible to send images through their new app. Soon to be released... !

[joerick]

Hello all! Just a quick note to say we've finally launched the app!

Check it out over in this thread: #26 (comment)
