Experimenting with WRTnode
We are experimenting with the WRTnode.
qMp is already available for this tiny and powerful device. You can find the ready-to-install binaries of the development version in our official repository: http://fw.qmp.cat/kalimotxo
It can be seen in the pictures that we connected several elements to the board pins:
- Ethernet cables (the device integrates a 5 ports switch)
- a USB camera
- a relay to remotely lock/unlock a door
The WRTnode performs very good, it has a huge amount of flash memory (16 MB) and a MIMO 802.11n 2.4 GHz radio which seems to work quite fine also in adhoc mode. It is actually a nice device for use in home automation, drone/robotics stuff, as a control device (to provide access to other devices via the serial port, for instance) and so on, while meshing in 2.4 GHz using qMp.
