  @Nayan Cool tip Effectively once this is done the Omega IS a range extender. I just realised I was effectively already using my Omega as a range extender without realising it since I always use my Omega like this. So long as your Omega is within range of your router AND your computer is in range of your Omega You will have internet access on your computer even if your computer is not in range of your router The only thing I would emphasise is that you should set a security type and password on your Wi-Fi AP settings otherwise anyone could pirate on to your internet access by connecting to your Omega Wi-Fi Just realised I hadn't done this

  Hi Boken, Thank you very much for your message. Just short question. I have received Omega Onion & Arduino deck, I have however read in the documentation and it seems that I might need an Expansion Dock or a Mini Dock to burn the Arduino Dock ATmega chip with a new bootloader. Is this correct? If this is the case I am currently missing Expansion Dock or Mini Dock before to start the hacakthon. Could you validate this information. In such case I will immediately buy few of them. Would it be shipped for next Friday? Thank you so much for your help and for your time. Kind Regards JB

  @Boken-Lin Thanks. I looked at the network config before, but somehow I completely missed that commented out section....

  Hello Garling, what about making a simple web page and use a server side technology to interface to the GPIO? You could use Python or PHP. If you don't know these languages, they are interesting to learn. I like Python the most because you can do much more than just server side scripting. You could also learn more about HTML/CSS/Javascript. An example project would be to make a webpage that display a schedule that you can apply to the output pin you want. You could plug a relay board (inexpensive on ebay) to the Omega and turn on/off lights in your home/backyard or stuff like that. With your OLED display, what about making a dashboard that can display your twitter timeline, check if you have any unread emails or other notification, or just simply display the local weather? It is a small Linux computer, there is a lot you can do. Lots of language to learn.

  Is there any chance the Omega would run Shairport?

  Im currently looking into audio support, with the server software I use, there is a shairport plugin. So Apple devices would share to the server software which in turn passes it onto the client (wifi speaker) devices. If I get the squeezeslave software to work, if you have a similar server software setup (if you have multiple speakers Id assume so) then there shouldnt be a problem.

  SOLVED: It appears that the wifi chip you use does not support TKIP encryption. I switched the router to use AES and everything started working. You might want to document that. Mike

  PLEASE NOTE I have edited my original instructions above for getting NetBeans to transfer your built file to your Omega because of an oddity I found in how NetBeans deals with Dynamic Libraries

  @Chris-Ward It's weird that the AP never shows up. Can you show me the content of /etc/config/wireless? Let's see if there's anything we can do.
