With the world that we live in driven by technology I was really dismayed that I’d need to be strapped to a desk or have a portable laptop. I had these amazing pictures on my Canon EOS 650D but no laptop or way to get them ready for posting. These were a few of the questions going through my head the other day when I went to the Bents Christmas opening.

had to mod the printer’s firmware, although version 2 of the FlashAir handles long file names and wouldn’t require as much effort. did a similar mod (see video, below) for the DaVinci printer which was a bit more involved since the original FlashAir card didn’t handle long file names.

Over on hackaday.io, has recently done some hacking on the FlashAir and has a list of its shell commands if you want to go beyond the text file hacks. Since the hack is nothing more than changing a text file, it is a lot easier than some other SD hacks we’ve covered.

However, shows how to modify a file on the SD card’s file system to allow the device to hook up to an existing wireless network and also provides a Python script to make the file transfer easier.Īlthough this hack is for a 3D printer, it ought to work with most devices that have a full sized SD slot (or can be adapted to take a full sized card). The card is aimed at consumers, so by default it creates a hotspot and waits for a connection, a rudimentary web app allows you to move files back and forth over the network to the SD card which is then read by the host device. Wouldn’t it be great if you could hack those devices with SD slots to use WiFi? Apparently 3D printer thought the same thing and found a way to reconfigure a Toshiba FlashAir card to put his 3D printer on the network. Back in the 1990’s moving files via a floppy disk was known as “sneaker net.” While floppies are a thing of the past, SD Cards are the modern equivalent and they still lend themselves to sneaker net operations.īut why? WiFi is everywhere now.
