    New challenge - lcd diagnostic panel for router

    Hi,

    what is a chance to have lcd diagnostic panel attached to asus router ?
    There is already a number of router products on a market with mini lcd diasgnostic panel as a upper cover.

    there are two main pieces of software which run on the router: lcd4linux and lcdproc. The first one is available in .ipk-s, the second one is easily compilable. See their web-sites which devices are supported. Personally I prefer lcdproc.

    After some 1.5 years experience of usage I'd say that its most useful feature is the full screen clock. It's quite fancy to have a precise clock which is synchronized every two hours

    P.S. Search the forum. There were several reports of success of this kind.

    Hi,

    an WL500g has an parallel port, so an display with an HD44780 controller can easily be hooked up to the device.

    as for the premium. it doesn't have an parallel port, at least not externally, perhaps internally.

    search this board for 'HD44780' it might give you some info.

    Hi,

    Maybe one ucontroller with USB could do the trick... Someone need to write the software to talk with it. This way you can attach some HD44870 or T6963 lcds...

    Cheers !

    we had almost the same topic 2 month ago in the german part of this forum:
    http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=17134
    even if its german their are some interesting links you maybe want to take a look at.

    Their are allready USB-LCDs available which are supported by lcd4linux their just very expensive.
    But theires a link too with some selfbuilding USB to LCD adapter just not 100 % sure if it ll work with oleg.

    Thanks for your excellent solution and manual.
    I have an old palmtop too, coming with Irda port + RS232.
    What can be done with such monitor, what kind and type of interaction,
    terminal access or the like ?

    It can be used to monitor the status of the router such as CPU load, amount of traffic on WAN port, etc. It can be also used to steer functionalities of the router such activate/deactivate wireless, block WAN port, etc via the virtual keyboard of the screen, e.g. key "W" to activate/deactivate wireless (just as an example!). The General Purpose Outputs (see PalmOrb FAQ) can be used to indicate or flag activities or abnormal situations on the router, e.g. disk full.
