Notification when others are connected
September 17, 2014 08:30PM
Hey All!

Just built two PirateBoxes and things are going swimmingly. I have been riding the NYC subways to and from work with it and am waiting to see who pops in and out.

I was just wondering if anyone created any mods to notify the PirateBox owner that someone is connected to the device. Either through flashing the LEDs on the TP-Link, vibration by soldering a motor to it, etc. Since connecting to it via Wifi cuts off my 4G data, I have to either wait till someone pops in and forgo my cell data or not be in chat in the event someone connects.

Thoughts, ideas?

Thanks,
Jon
