Working way to create a simple Ethernet/WLAN web radio player using a cheap tiny WR703N router and a cheap USB C-Media soundcard. Switch radio stations with the reset switch. -- THE ACTUAL CODE ON THIS PAGE IS ***OUTDATED***, use https://github.com/probonopd/minikrebs instead!

Flash this via the OpenWRT interface. (Use the "factory.bin" if OpenWRT was not yet installed on the WR703N before.) Check the checkbox to keep the configuration in order to keep your network setup intact (such as dhcp over Ethernet or wireless or whatever). This is brilliant design!

Tricks with the LED

Turn blue led on :

    echo "1" > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/tp-link:blue:system/brightness

Turn blue led off :

    echo "0" > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/tp-link:blue:system/brightness

Blink blue led on/off :

    cd /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/tp-link:blue:system/
    echo timer > trigger
    echo 100 > delay_on
    echo 100 > delay_off

Note : The delay_on value must be less than 255


INSIGHT:
* Playing webradio over Ethernet or WLAN with USB sound card needs 0.9 W
* Boot takes 30 secs, about 5(?) could be saved in u-boot
* Flash is the key bottleneck of the device. Net to get nfs extroot going?
* madplay is a tiny mp3 player, it needs 13% CPU when playing SWR3

Cool stuff I can do:

# Switch off USB power - the key to a VERY power efficient standby...
echo "0"  > /sys/devices/virtual/gpio/gpio8/value

# Switch on USB again (works)
echo "1"  > /sys/devices/virtual/gpio/gpio8/value

TODO:
* See http://www.neophob.com/files/Diplomarbeit.pdf
* Write real proper packaged luci module on git http://dentrassi.de/2012/07/26/extending-openwrt/
* Investigate http://piie.net/index.php?section=tplink-radio - there an ATtiny is hooked up; by using an ATmega instead Pronto Hex sending and IR receiving should be a possibility...
* Store tuned station in a file to be able to recover from there https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=195539#p195539
* Write script/webinterface (lua?)
* Can I use the buttons/GPIOs of the C-Media USB sound card? There are 4 buttons on it... See http://neophob.com/2007/05/openwrt-mp3-player-with-keyboard-and-display/
* Find out if the blue LED and/or other GPIOs can be used for IR sending/LIRC
* Hook up ATmega to send and receive IR codes, and have that controlled via HTTP and/or IR
* shairport - likely way too large
* Hook up SD Card via GPIO (if net mounting does not work at all)

To set up a working Ethernet and WLAN Internet connection (only one of the two need to be connected)

# Client mode
https://github.com/krebscode/minikrebs/blob/master/traits/network/client-mode/files/etc/config/network

/etc/config/network 
======
config interface 'lan'
	option ifname 'eth0'
	option proto 'dhcp'
=====

Select under "Interfaces - WAN": Create / Assign firewall-zone: lan (green) for *ALL* networks! --> Now I can ssh in and I can use HTTP

Interfaces: Interface WAN: delete
Wifi: Scan, Join Network, Create / Assign firewall-zone: select lan (green)!, Submit, Save and apply
Interfaces -> WWAN -> Advanced settings -> Override MAC address: Has the WRONG IP, so set IP+1, Save and apply
Interfaces: Both LAN and WWAN should be green now and both should have an IP address
HTML interface should be reachable on both addresses

If you have totally mis-configured the network and can't get in anymore, use "OpenWRT Failsafe" (using an Ethernet cable and the reset button)

avrdude seems to be able to burn at 57600

avrdude -p atmega328p -c arduino -P /dev/ttyATH0 -b 57600 -D -U flash:w:ASCIITable.cpp.hex:i

Serial is unstable/not working at 3.3V and the integrated 8 MHz oscillator, at least it does not work for me when not calibrated. Hence I am now using the 328p with a 16 MHz quartz and flashing now works if I first short reset to GND, second launch avrdude, third remove the reset short to GND

If ser2net is running, then I can also flash using ardude on the desktop machine, like so (the WR703n is the host "atheros" here):
avrdude -p atmega328p -c arduino -P net:atheros:1234 -b 57600 -D -U flash:w:/tmp/build8675192537251004413.tmp/sketch_jul19b.cpp.hex:i

TODO: Have this show up in the Arduino IDE

FIRST, pull Reset to GND. SECOND, issue the avrdude command. THIRD, release the Reset pin from GND.

# This means that it is NOT active low, but passive low

# Works, as measured with Saleae Logic Analyzer (just hooking up a LED and R does not appear to work!) :-)
