Small LCD for router

[ryzhov_al]

I bought cheap 1.5" LCD key-chain photo frame and made a display for my router.

Tested on RT-N14 (linux 3.4, Padavan's firmware) and RT-N66U (linux 2.6, asuswrt-merlin). All necessary stuff can be found here.

does it run doom ?

 

[jegesq]

Pretty cool. You could probably make some money selling those as an add-on device if you had a cheap enough supply of the LCD screens.

Especially to people who can't figure out how to type 192.168.1.1.

 

[ryzhov_al]

Just made a video.

does it run doom ?

Yes, but it's hard to control player with router antennas.

 

[Nullity]

Wow. Very cool. You constantly impress me.

Btw, what is the music in your video?

Btw, what is the music in your video?

Just picked up appropriate track from Youtube list to replace original sounds where two my kids are jumping around at home
"Gymnopedie No. 3 - Wahneta Meixsell".

Have L4L on my STB, love it

Please tell me more about :

should this 1.5" project be possible on rt-ac68 ??

No, it was compiled for some guy with rare type of LCD, who wants to run it inside /jffs with no Entware installed. Ask @Zyxmon to compile package for Entware-arm from sources.

This really answered my problem, thank you!

Lol

With the LCD monitor, would it also be possible to run a USB keyboard on the N66U's second USB port?

 

[ryzhov_al]

USB HID modules are included in asuswrt-merlin, I'm using it with UPS, so USB keyboard will work too.

With the LCD monitor, would it also be possible to run a USB keyboard on the N66U's second USB port?

Yes, but... why?

 

[johtaja]

Yes, but... why?

Answer:

Yes, but it's hard to control player with router antennas.

[solved don't know what I did or didn't dooo]

Hi, have now received my DPF, as from your link.

But I have problem with following
-"Press MENU+RESET to put DPF in bootloader mode while it is still connected to USB."

Have tried different approaches as: connected or not connected, pressing DPF keys simultaneously
or, one or the other a moment before, but I all get is a reset of the dpf.

Most properly problem caused by my shortcomings.

Please advice, minute for minute.

TIA

Oh, I forgot to mention. Asus f\w handles every USB serial device with option.ko driver, placing VID/PID as option.ko parameter. It helps to support unknown 3G modems, but causes side effect, because not all USB serial devices are 3G modems! This is what I see in syslog when DPF has been connected:

Dec  1 03:00:11 kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic
Dec  1 03:00:11 kernel: drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core
Dec  1 03:00:11 kernel: drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for GSM modem (1-port)
Dec  1 03:00:11 kernel: option 1-1.2:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
Dec  1 03:00:11 kernel: usb 1-1.2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Dec  1 03:00:11 kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver option
Dec  1 03:00:11 kernel: drivers/usb/serial/option.c: USB Driver for GSM modems: v0.7.2

I modified start script this way:

admin@RTN66U:/tmp/home/root# cat /opt/etc/init.d/S91lcd4linux
#!/bin/sh

rmmod option && sleep 2

ENABLED=yes
PROCS=lcd4linux
ARGS="-f /opt/etc/lcd4linux.conf"
PREARGS=""
DESC=$PROCS
PATH=/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

. /opt/etc/init.d/rc.func

I can't add this fix to Entware package because it's firmware independent.

 

[cyborgpunte]

weird, both identical here, but I have errormezz.

Any ideas when I look closer to this next week hopefully ??

script gives this with switch "check"
-"Checking lcd4linux... dead."

[ryzhov_al]

Where did you get lcd4linux package for ARM?

 

[cyborgpunte]

From : -"Ask @zyxmon to compile package for Entware-arm from sources." quote from you above.

But I can have mezzed things up, will start again from scratch next week. Clean flash, fomat usb, install entware and opkg install
lcd4linux-dpf_r1201-1_armv7soft.ipk

So hold your horses, and please help me again next week.

Edit : then without dualwan/huawei modem dongle.
