Server status LCD Added a serial LCD to one of my servers. I coded the software in VB6. Nothing that exciting. The display is from a serial POS pole display and accepts ASCII (VT100) data the same as a text only printer. The hardest part is gathering the data to display. I may post the code if anyone wants it.  Router heatsink and fan. Some cheap wireless routers don't handle WPA too well. This one would freeze under load so to fix it a added a heatsink inside to the main processor and a small 5volt fan from an old laptop. Now it works even better and rock solid.  More USB ports Ever run out of USB ports on your laptop and needed more? I did so I added more, I rewired one of the USB ports if to a small 4 port USB hub then back to the port. This allowed me to add 3 more USB devices internally to my old laptop without loosing an external port. So I was able to add 802.11, Bluetooth and a flash drive inside the laptop. |
