Red Brick on Raspberry Pi cannot connect to Brick View

[greg79]

The setup: I have a RPi3 running the Brick Daemon and bricklets connected.The RPi is connected to the local network and so is my terminal (macbook). I have managed to SSH into the RPi successfully and check both the version of the daemon and check the config file (there's none, it uses default values).

Config file '/home/pi/.brickd/brickd.conf' not found, using default values
Using the following config values:
  listen.address           = 0.0.0.0
  listen.plain_port        = 4223
  listen.websocket_port    = 0
  listen.mesh_gateway_port = 4240
  listen.dual_stack        = off
  authentication.secret    = 
  log.level                = info
  log.debug_filter         = 

 

 

Both the RPi and my laptop are connected to the same WIFI access point, Brick Viewer is set to 'localhost' and port 4223. When I hit 'connect', it doesn't yield any error, it just doesn't do anything. The whole setup was tested yesterday and worked fine (I saw the bicklets connected, I could see their UID too).

I have also tried:

 

- restart the daemon on both machines

 

- use a different WIFI network

 

- use '0.0.0.0' as an address instead of 'localhost'

 

What am I doing wrong?

You have to connect to the IP of the RPi instead of localhost. You are connecting to your locally running Brick Daemon (running on your laptop), since there is nothing connected to the laptop nothing shows up .
