I can now use the Fonera to talk to the serial port of the Arduino via telnet using ser2net. I worte a simple script which allows me to control three leds with some simple commands.

It started working when I disabled the console on ttyS0 in /etc/inittab on the Fonera.

The possibilities are endless! Now I need some servos and a FS20 dimmer

Now why would anyone want put cheese in a network?

I know, it’s been done before (1,2) but as LAN and WiFi for the Arduino are a little expensive and I had this spare Fon AP I had to try it myself. So simple once you get past the screws and nick a little code from the aforementioned links.

There is a problem though: The Fonera won’t boot with a serial line connected. This sucks because it means you cannot just wrap the whole shebang in a box and power it up to do some job (like wake you up in the morning without additional fiddeling… maybe a capacitor… We’ll see.

today I got my Arduino and a rfm12b transceiver. Now all I need will be a remote dimmer switch and my dream of an alarm clock which slowly lights my mornings will finally become true.

For those who don’t know, Before I had my Asus WL-500gp OpenWRT Router do the work using a Gembird SIS-PM. But the SIS-PM produces a loud klick on switching sockets. I want things to be more quiet, at least until the music kicks in
