Hacking embedded devices always give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, Asus has really outdone themselves with these routers :) Make sure you blog the final results!

I was a bit sleepy when I wrote that comment, and besides the error I forgot to mention some things =) The LCD controller is working (with LCD4Linux, I guess), as well as a USB sound card (right now I'm using the WL-HDD as a media player), but someone in the OpenWRT forums managed to control a X10 device! So I ordered a USBSerial converter and a X10 dongle in order to create something like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-HF3461-Wake-Up-Light-Alarm/dp/B000VI7K2C The X10 setup allows you to control the dim of a lamp. So as soon as my order arrives I'll do the setup (just write some scripts and an interface to browse the music collection and setup the alarm) and find a nice casing =) Thanks again for the reply! Oh thanks for the reply!

I don't think I'm using a modified version of PalmOrb though, just the regular one: http://palmorb.sourceforge.net/download.html There are, however, some modified versions over here, if you're willing to try some: http://palmorb.sourceforge.net/experiments.html If you are referring to the rotated screen, you can use XMaster in combination with FlipHack to rotate it: http://www.freewarepalm.com/utilities/fliphack.shtml I'm not sure if you will be able to install any Linux based LCD controllers compatible with PalmOS on your Asus WL router, but I'll leave that to you. That sounds pretty awesome!

Can you provide me with that modified version of PalmOrb? I am working on a project to use an Asus WL-HDD for alarm clock, weather info and alarm clock and would like to use your version. Best regards! Hi there!
