Dashboard completely blank except for empty header

Hello everyone and happy holidays!

I just received my Pironman5 yesterday, and today I’m making sure it’s properly setup.

I used the 32GB SD Card provided with the starter kit, the installation was fine, no errors. When opening the dashboard on localhost:34001 , all I see is the top blue toolbar, and the button to change the theme (light/dark). There is no other UI element at all.

Looking at the console of the dev tools, I see some errors:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
192.168.4.1:34001/api/v1.0/test?:1

Trying to load this URL in the browser also fails.

This strikes me as /api being proxied to a backend that simply isn’t turned on, but I have no knowledge of how your system is setup so I can’t really debug this on my own.

Note that I did move the OS to an NVME SSD, and this problem still occurs. What can I do here?

Apparently someone else had this issue ( Pironman 5 Dashboard blank - General - Sunfounder Forum ) , and the solution is to use the IP address of the device rather than localhost. While this is a good workaround for the dashboard to actually work, the code itself should probably be fixed so that the binding of the backend also happens on localhost/127.0.0.1 for the future…

Yep that was the issue

LOL… I signed up for the forums to come here and say the same thing…

instead of:
localhost:34001

enter:
[your IP]:34001 (no brackets)

192.168.0.0:34001 or whatever it is…

its at the top of your OLED display…
