Hello, is it possible connect (via USB hub) 2 or more USB convertors? Thx
yes, you can do that. works like a charm.
I have first convertor on 1st USB port. In 2nd USB port I have a USB HUB. If I plug 2nd RS232 convertor into USB HUB, WL don't detect this convertor. Any idea? Thx.
the problem is generally known. Its reason is poor usb support in old 2.4 kernel.
Possible solutions:
1) use usb1 hub
2) disable usb2 support ( rmmod ehci-hcd )
3) try firmware from here: http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/ It has last 2.4 kernel and improved usb support.
BTW, which device you have?
Thx, I have profilic chip convertors (one for temper DS, one for LCD).
Hello tryme
what is your LCD application and your HW setup? I guess you are using ipkg software. Right? Tnx
Good day all,
I have a new WL-500gP V2 SN A4IAAC017945, PIN Code 58450550, MAC 485B394AC003, ASUS Firmware 3.0.44
I am trying to load WL500gpV2-1.9.2.7-10-USB-1.71.trx (attached) which is modified to allow me to connect my USB enabled weather station and serve weather data on the web.
:(
I first tried the web interface and it failed with an error
(see image)
I put the unit into recovery mode and tried tftp

I also tried the ASUS Firmware recovery mode which also failed.
(see image)
Can anyone think of anything else? Can this be done via the ZVMODELVZ page?
I suspect there must be some sort of name check or signature check in place?
Thanx
when you upload a firmware image via tftp (firmware restoration tool = tftp) the router won't check if the models are the same...
what exactly is changed in the firmware? if it's just a kernel module which need to load up?
I suspect that it is the USB funtions that were added. I go the file from hereQuote:

I have very basic understanding (insatll, add packages etc...) of Linux but don't know how to make my own kernal. This firmware is exacly what I am looking for thats why I wanted to try it.
I also found another site that uses OpenWRT that I might try next If I can't get this one working.
WaveQam
well, I've searched a bit, and found this weatherstation that is supported by the software on that site.Quote:

all it needs is a library called "libusb" (as I suspected) which runs on pretty much any firmware:)
you can keep trying koppel, which is a modified version of oleg firmware ( http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/downloads/list ), it adds support for usb 3G modems or hsdpa, something like that:p
openwrt is also quite nice, in the end, they have all access to the same libraries.
anyway, the guy also writes about using free software:
it requires a bit more work probably tho;)Quote:
initially spent some time getting the unit to work with wview, for which I received a patch for an old version. I had lots of trouble with wview, and when the power company damaged the unit in November, I started writing my own code.
The software is written in C (of course!), accesses the USB hardware with libusb, whatever that may be (there appear to be at least 3 different incompatible ones, and it's not the current version described on the libusb project home page). I store readings in a MySQL database, use gnuplot to generate the images, and display it on web pages using PHP and Apache. If it weren't for the fact that it runs on FreeBSD, it would be a typical LAMP application.
