Nanode RF Port allocations mapped out for resource usage clarity

 

I recently purchased a Nanode RF from the OSHUG 2012 hardware camp.  This is a nifty little piece of kit combining arduino, ethernet, RF comms and other functionality into one arduino-sized board.

Before getting started with this I wanted to, see what resources were already used for the on-board devices, so I could see what sensors etc. I could connect and to where.  Despite Ken’s efforts, the schematic isn’t the clearest to follow, so I decided to decode this into a table showing what resources are used where.  This is attached below (let me know if you want the spreadsheet or PDF versions).

OSHcamp2012

Looking forward to the 2012 Open Source Hardware User Group Camp; 15th Sept in Yorkshire (Link), in particular the discussions in the Internet of Things and of course the Raspberry Pi.  Will be there for sure on the Saturday, but unsure about the Sunday workshops.

More info on repurposing the WR703N

Further to the awesome miniPwner, DesignSpark adds more info on re-purposing the WR703N including adding a serial console connection. http://www.designspark.com/content/hacking-tp-link-tl-wr703n

Raspberry Pi based remote controlled music player…

via DesignSpark, a remote controlled streaming/SMB share based music player with an Android remote client. Looks like another interesting application for this awesome low-cost, general purpose platform http://www.designspark.com/content/raspberry-pi-remote-control-music-player

Soapbox: The {Unspoken} Rules of Open Source Hardware

Reblogged from MAKE:

I truly believe open source hardware is here to stay. It has established itself as a great community, a great effort, and for many, a great business. I spend most of my days working on open source hardware in some way, and I wanted to talk about some of the {unspoken} rules we all, well, many, seem to follow. Why? Because the core group of people who've been doing what we've collectively called "open source hardware" know each other — we're friends, we overlap and compete in some ways, but we all work towards a common goal: sharing our work to make the world a better place and to stand on each other's shoulders and not each other's toes : ) I'm sure there will be some folks who agree strongly with what I've outlined as "unspoken rules," others, I hope will completely disagree with many points too.

Phillip Torrone talks about open source hardware. Some words of wisdom in what is still a maturing community. All of my projects published on this blog will be as open source hardware under a CC license. (more on that later)
