<font face="Comic Sans MS"> I've had in mind an airborne router and
have been keeping an eye out for something light and this gizmo
sure fits the bill. This device could act in a mesh, which is a
self organizing network. In the drone world there is the concept
of a swarm. I have read that the military is using
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.defensetech.org/2016/01/04/u-s-navy-plans-to-fly-first-drone-swarm-this-summer/">http://www.defensetech.org/2016/01/04/u-s-navy-plans-to-fly-first-drone-swarm-this-summer/</a>
which uses a lot of OTS stuff, but non the less probably cost some
big $$$ for custom boards, which I think include radar. So using
this cheap, light router wired in with OTS hobby flight
controllers with GPS (dump the radar!) you could have an
inexpensive airborne mesh net swarm. I wonder if you could hack
one of those SDR dongles into it? A rabbit hunting swarm? This
is just what the average ham radio club needs for field day, don't
you think?<br>

<div dir="ltr">This is a pretty neat hack. One possibility I
could see
for the BBHN project is to finish the hack by adding an
ethernet
connector, maybe an RJ-45 connector and turn it into a dongle
for the
voip phone eliminating the need for larger router. Of course
this
would be best for a scenario that called for a mesh network in
a small
area.</div>

I
just heard about a device that the OpenWRT folks
are looking as the
next big (actually smallest) thing in the CPU
world. Called the Zsun
SD card reader, it apparently may be able to take
a load of OpenWRT.
Details are a bit over my head technically but if
nothing else it sure
looks like something one could while away a lot of
hours in the shack
toying with. It looks like you could fit a dozen
or so of these in the
footprint of a Raspberry PI. So you gurus of
technology out there,
what do you say, any future in some ham related
projects, like maybe
BBHN/AREDN mesh nodes, or possibly as a micro WSPR
transmitter?</span></p>
