The Artnet Node Project.

For a couple of years ago i stumble on a project by Simon Newton that used a router and a usb dmx interface to create a Artnet node with a single universe output.
recently i found another project witch used a Arduino and a ethernet shield to make an artnet node. A couple of months ago i got an very small router from dealextreme wich is called TP-Link wr703n . when i was looking for information how to flash the router with english firmware i realized that it was could be possible to make very neat artnet node. It is possible to install a custom linux build to the router and install The Open Lighting Architecture (OLA) and connect a usb dmx interface to the usb port of the router.




some of the great features with wr703n

  • small (5,6 X 5,6 cm)
  • hackable
  • low power
  • has a usb host
  • cheap (22$ inc shipping)


the only bad thing is the Chinese firmware.

my approach
first i need to install openwrt.
how to do that this tuitorial seems to be great
then i need to install ola i will try follow this guide
will also use the router artnet page

If i will get this to work can make a tutorial.
