[sudo-discuss] Arduino Bootloader on the ESP8266

[Jake]

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?
