Hi all,
Can someone share a step by step tutorial for linux ? A want to connect #twatch with a linux router (dd-wrt), to get info about WAN IP, disks usage etc.
I'm a linux noob,
I'm not sure about the details, but the process will involve opening a TCPIP port on the router to the #twatch on port 1337, then sending matrix orbital formatted commands. You can check the LCDSmartie source for matrix orbital command code, or a number of #twatch scripts in the SVN if you can use Perl or Pyton on the router.
Maybe is something very simply, but I'm not a linux user,
I know some simple commands in linux like, cd, mkdir, cp ..... ls, but that's all....
Can you help me to make #twatch work with ubuntu..... ?
thx.
nothink about #twatch with linux?
Cristian,
I am not a Linux expert, but I do use it on my home network. I have a tWatch which is still sitting on my workbench since I haven't had much time to work with it yet. But I'll try to help you if I can.
First, have you gotten the backlighting "problem" resolved?
Next, look thru:

Then let me know how you are doing.

Hi Joe,
There is no prb with my #thatch backlight, the frmw puts on by default.
Cristian,
If your backlight works OK, that's good. You probably have one of the later produced tWatches.
I assume it works OK and that you can ping it.
Next you should look through the reference I included last time. Similar sites include:

These should give you some ideas about opening a port on your PC. Then use Ian's suggestions about passing Matrix Orbital commands to it using port 1337.
