You don't need a serial port to flash the openwrt firmware. I didn't use one. However if you want to add a display and button, you need it. Second, the wl520gu is available in holland for around 45 euro. So no a lot more than on ebay. 43 euro at redcoon. 45 euro at zercom (eindhoven), used to be 25 ...

The Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH seems like a good upgrade. Available for around 60 euro. 400Mhz; 32MB Flash; 64MB RAM. Should be enough for the new MPD that has grown so much. The only possible problem might be the Atheros processor which is MIPS and not MIPSEL. So as far as I can tell the packages provid...

The most important one is /etc/hotplug.d/button/01-radio-control. This one will be executed every time you press or release the button. This script will call either buttonpressed or buttonreleased. Button pressed depends on mympc.sh, but if you replace every "/root/mympc.sh XXX" by "m...

MixRio also has shoutcast (http://67.18.153.66:8060). You should check yourself if the others have one to.

If all else fails you could just reflash the firmware. Openwrt doesn't have a reset-button like dd-wrt does, since it doesn't use the nvram (as far as I know). Edit Seems that openWRT has a failsafe mode, which doesn't mount the JFFS2, so leaves a fresh openwrt. More info at http://wiki.openwrt.org/...

You could even program a sleep function. So if you haven't changed stations or volume etc. it will stop playing after say 1 hour. I did this myself. Every time I change channels I touch a file. Then I have a cronjob running every 5 min checking if the files modification time is more than 1 hour ago....

I'm glad you found it useful. As for the lever. I quickly scribbled something for you http://diyphone.net/images/lever.png green is the push-pin. Red is the pivot with the top side pressing against the SES button. The small dot in my case is a nail. The green push pin is held in place by two holes i...

The station name should appear once you start playing it. So the solution would be to cycle through all stations in the playlist once.
You could use a script like:

You could even use cron to automatically start playing at, for example, 8am and stop at 10pm. I don't know if you keep the radio on all the time, or if its plugged in when needed. If its on all the time it might be smart to add a cron-job to run "mpc play" once and a while, just in case th...

I must admit, it's not very easy the view the url on the shoutcast website. Go to shoutcast. Find the station you like. Right click on the blue (underlined) station name and choose something like 'open in new tab'. After the new tab opens a download dialog appears. Save to your pc. Open the .pls fil...
