Re: Using the router as the audio source

I have not tried this but I would love for someone to get it working. I have zero experience with icecast so sadly I can't help much. Compiling packages is doable but it's a big pain, at least it was last time I tried it a few months ago. :(

Re: Any chance for a board to be produced?

Not that I know of. I should have done this when I first wrote up the project on the blog, but I was too busy getting my own radio ready for the Maker Faire. I built everything on a protoboard and it came out pretty well.

Re: WL-520GC + sound + webcam ?

Bahko, you actually soldered in new RAM and flash chips?? I would love to see more about this, do you have any pictures or a writeup on the mods that you would like to share??

Re: Help interfacing LCD

Sorry to hear you dropped the project for a while. :cry: I'm going to guess that there is problem with the serial comms between the LCD display and the router. Here is what the AVR is doing when you first power it on. It initializes the serial port and sends "AVR Online" to the router. I a...

Re: Help connecting to LAN port on WL500gP

You know, it's kind of funny, but I've never tried setting the router to anything other than 192.168.1.1. I wonder if there is a firewall setting or something else that is keeping 192.168.0.1 from working? Actually, the most likely issue is that you can't set the LAN and WAN to use the same subnet, ...

Re: Unable to launch mpd, library dependencies.

You are in somewhat uncharted territory if you're compiling the base image from the openwrt trunk and then trying to combine that with packages in the mightyohm repository (which were compiled from trunk sometime around Kamikaze 7.05 if I remember correctly). Can you verify where you are pointing op...

Re: Best Learning Resources

Don't worry, you are in the right place. :) My favorite book for beginners is Getting Started in Electronics, by Forrest Mims III. It's an older book, but still in print and very relevant today. Good introduction to resistors, capacitors, transistors, etc, but don't expect anything about Arduino. ;)...

Re: Is serial console disabled on recompiled firmware?

My firmware has the serial console enabled on boot. It can be disabled by changing the kernel options at compile time, and also possibly by changing the options supplied to the kernel at startup, although I am not sure how to change them. It might be worth looking into how the bootloader calls the k...
