that's totally excellent. I have two of those but i haven't had a chance to play with them yet. perhaps there needs to be another hacknight at sudoroom, called software hacking thursdays or something like that? since this would technically be software since the hardware is already put together... but who would host a Software Hacking Thursdays at sudoroom every week? do you have one yet? what would you do with it? i still haven't had a chance to play with openWRT and the zillions of compatible routers i have piles of. They run on a wide range of voltage (built-in buck converter) and they run linux, they have a TTL serial port and a few GPIOs.. what can't you do with them? -jake On Thursday Adam wrote: Someone managed to cram the arduino bootloader on the ESP8266 https://makezine.com/2015/04/01/esp8266-5-microcontroller-wi-fi-now-arduino… Yup. $3 wifi arduino. $1.50 in aliexpress bulk.
