I was just reading about this little guy yesterday, in Linux User & Developer mag. I was planning on building an Arduino sunset/sunrise outside lights controller for my house (using lat/long and a bit of maths), but I think this fits the bill better.


wth! That page tells us nothing useful. The hardware headline has a picture of it, a pinout diagram and nothing more. What kind of hardware is it built with? What architecture is it? What's the wi-fi chip? Does it have good support? What libraries are you using? What distros are supported?

All I can see it that it's running busybox and a two year old kernel.
