Re: What makes piratebox "tick"? - 8 years ago
That's a pretty broad request. PB isn't a small project. You can review the project here: Also, there will be obvious differences since PB runs on OpenWRT (not dd-wrt).by angrygnome - PirateBox OpenWrt
Trying to get piratebox running on the Unwired One (formerly Black Swift) - 8 years ago
I posted about the Black Swift quite a while ago (probably years ago) and mine has finally arrived. For those who are unaware, the Unwired One (as the Black Swift is now called) is a tiny (barely bigger than some coins) single board computer that runs OpenWRT. It has wifi on board by default, a USB port for power, and a USB port for whatever else. I've been trying to manually install PB oby angrygnome - PirateBoxes on OpenWrt - unsupported
Black Swift - An SD Card sized computer running OpenWRT with built-in wifi - 9 years ago
I saw this on Kickstarter and thought it would make a pretty awesome Piratebox: You could potentially use something like this to attach a microsd card: or just a USB OTG cable.by angrygnome - PirateBox OpenWrt
Re: Please share your PirateBox photos - 9 years ago
I posted a picture earlier in this thread of my Piratebox-in-a-book... but I've added a few more to the family since then. From left to right: TP-LINK MR10U with a Kingston Digital 64GB DataTraveler, two MR3040s with 64GB SanDisk Cruzer Fits, and a MR3020 with a 32GB SanDisk Cruzer Fit and a PowerGen 6000mAh battery. :-Dby angrygnome - PirateBox (General)
Re: NEW OPEN WRT SUPPORT FOR TP-Link TL-MR10U 
- 11 years ago
I did not build an image for it. I used the firmware you linked to in your original post and then followed the OpenWRT PB DIY instructions here: Make sure to install the kernel modules described in step 15. It's not hard to do if you follow the instructions.by angrygnome - PirateBox OpenWrt
Re: NEW OPEN WRT SUPPORT FOR TP-Link TL-MR10U - 11 years ago
Here's a pic with the MR10U and the MR3020 for comparison. Performance seems about the same for both (which makes sense since they have similar hardware). It's awesome having a battery built in. You don't even need something to put it in... just throw it in a pocket.

Re: NEW OPEN WRT SUPPORT FOR TP-Link TL-MR10U - 11 years ago
Thanks Matthias! I was able to get PB working on the TL-MR10U before you put this up. I manually installed the kernel modules, etc. (Works great.) I'm installing PHP and configuring it now. I'll update with more details when I get home tonight.by angrygnome - PirateBox OpenWrt
Re: NEW OPEN WRT SUPPORT FOR TP-Link TL-MR10U - 11 years ago
Thanks for the tip. I ordered one. I'll let everyone know if/when I get PB running on it.by angrygnome - PirateBox OpenWrt
Re: PirateBox + COPS (Calibre OPDS (and HTML) PHP Server) - 11 years ago
Awesome johanrusli. I'm glad it worked for you.by angrygnome - PirateBox OpenWrt
Re: PirateBox + COPS (Calibre OPDS (and HTML) PHP Server) - 11 years ago
It looks like you stopped piratebox completely in order to connect to the internet. I assume you did something like this: /etc/init.d/piratebox stop This will unmount /mnt/usb which is where php and the php modules get installed. That's why the "-d piratebox" is in the opkg install command. Probably the easiest way (as far as I know) to keep piratebox running and everythingby angrygnome - PirateBox OpenWrt

PirateBox + COPS (Calibre OPDS (and HTML) PHP Server) - 11 years ago
So... I managed to get COPS (see title) installed on my PirateBox 0.6.3 on an MR3020. (In case you don't know what Calibre is or what it does, you can find more info here.) COPS is great application that allows me to have a fully searchable book archive with book descriptions, ratings, and other metadata. This is how I did it: 1. Install PirateBox as normal. 2. Connect PB to internet aby angrygnome - PirateBox OpenWrt

opendchub on MR3020 running PB? - 11 years ago
Just wondering if it would be possible to get opendchub running on a MR3020 running PirateBox. I think it would be cool thing to have. I have it running on a FON2100 router without issue. It has less RAM and a slower CPU but more flash.by angrygnome - PirateBox (Development)
Re: Please share your PirateBox photos - 12 years ago
I'm sure you no longer need photos for the interview... but I thought I'd share some pictures of my newly created piratebox called "The Library." Obviously it is meant for sharing books. The battery is rated at 6000mAh and I have found that it can easily run the router for more than 24 hours. Let me know what you think.by angrygnome - PirateBox (General)
