Next Dec 3, 2012, at Circuit Hacking Monday, I'm going to lead a<br>
detour from the normal fare of kits and soldering, towards commodity<br>
electronics and embeddded devices land. let's focus on the strengths<br>
of ddwrt and openwrt, get an over view of extant projects and<br>
documentation, and see what interesting stuff we can find in openwrt<br>
ddwrt's package managers.<br>
<br>
I'm interested in this because even though it's been a year since I<br>
first saw the wr703n (at 29c3), which is a tiny little box that just<br>
uses the a common IC chip often found in routers without all the extra<br>
space normally devoted to a four port switch. It really has the same<br>
functionality as routers that you can put openwrt or ddrwrt on, but<br>
reduces size to about a 3"x3"x1".<br>
<br>
I only know the basics about the subject, but I bet many folks at<br>
Noisebridge have knowledge to share and know which devices to hunt for<br>
for certain features. Can anyone come in next Monday with hacked<br>
routers to show off?<br>
<br>
Bring out your old routers and set them up to use again. If you have<br>
spare, unused old routers, bring them in to donate for projects to<br>
install at Noisebridge. I know this is kind of old stuff compared to<br>
rpis and due's and whatnot, so bring in that new stuff also, if you<br>
have it, but for this Monday<br>
<br>
As always with Noisebridge events, this is free to all and everyone is<br>
welcome.<br>
