Re: Ethernet-based Arduino-powered Control Panel

I haven't got around to implementing the serial interface yet, but I have added support for tweeting the current song, for the Adafruit Instructables contest. It tweets the station and current song to @SchampsNetRadio. Info, photos, and code are here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Tweeting-WiFi-Ra...

Re: Ethernet-based Arduino-powered Control Panel

Very cool project! Ethernet has always been expensive. Like Wi-Fi, those modules are pricey and really increase the cost of the project. If I was doing it I would try USB-serial. I've got an extra USB-serial converter and a hub on the way, I'm hoping to try that next. I could then probably put ever...

Re: Ethernet-based Arduino-powered Control Panel

Here is the writeup of the scrolling algorithm, if anyone's interested: http://schazamp.wordpress.com/2011/02/12/333/ It also occurred to me I might be able to use a USB->serial adapter, with a USB hub, to control the radio instead of ethernet (without opening the radio). I'll have to look into this...

Ethernet-based Arduino-powered Control Panel

I have built a control panel for my WiFi radio that uses Ethernet, so I can avoid opening my router and adding a serial port. It is based around the Arduino platform, with the Ethernet Shield. I have it written up as an Instructable, with photos ( http://www.instructables.com/id/Standalone-WiFi-Radi...
