Re: Klondike - 16 chip ASIC Open Source Board

Just received my TL-WR703N this is awesome for the price don't know if I will us it or PI to run my k16's.

A few of my saved links as to why this unit is so interesting. I'm sure I also saw that someone completely reversed the PCB as well, but can't find it now.

One of my ideas that I hope to explore later: use it as QuadCopter engine so that via Wifi and USB camera, you can control flight with your Android tablet. Even if it meant removing the AR9331 and implementing a dedicated PCB controller with Gyros etc.

But that's a whole 'nother topic I don't have time for right now.

I know this is sorta OT, but I read reports that installing openWRT on WR703N units with firmware later than I think v1.6 would brick them. Does anyone know if this is true? I've got a WR703N and a Pi in my cart on amazon, but I'm waiting to pull the trigger.

The QuadCopter project sounds awesome, btw.

Mine was 3.14.5 Build 130318 rel,6432ln. Came up on IP address 1.0.232.194 for some reason.
I flashed it with openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin. Its working great.
Can't believe I didn't get 1 or 2 earlier to play with. Sorry for being some what OT.
