There is a simple easy sd wifi card hack that is absolutamente muy fantastico !!
(IMHO
). The
FlashAir sdcard was mentioned by Nicmalone as his solution for the J720 connectivity. It is an sdcard with WPA2 enabled wifi in addition to sd card storage. Usually these are used in cameras, with a cf adapter for example and they provide an access
( AP
)point to connect to with your cell phone, etc...different from your home router AP...ie, you must connect to this distinct AP to download
(usually photos
)...unfortunately, in stock configuration there is no upload option. However...drummm rolllll...
Thanks to a tutorial hack by
https://mattshub.com/2017/04/11/flashair-sd-card/ , the small Config file on the
flashair can be easily modified to 1
) allow access thru your router as a station mode client on your network. 2
) allow the sdcard storage to mapped as a network drive with lightning speed upload or download ability!!! 3
) it can also serve as a simultaneous AP point with internet passthrough as well to avoid having someone log onto your network but still access files, photos, etc.
For example, I am writing this on my MP900c with the
FLashAir card in the cf slot. When I save this text file to the sd card storage it immediately appears on my laptop as the same file mapped to drive z: , where I can open it and copy paste into the HPC:factor forum. Best thing...these sdcards are quite cheap...less than $40 bucks for the 64GB on Amazon
(they need to be reformatted from exFat to Fat32 to work on J720
). You've got to give it a try!
Full Details to follow...
