/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>447688

Hey /diy/

I'd like to fabricate a walking stick with a light at the end, one that can go from glowing dim like the eye of a dying man, to shining bright as the aurora borealis, that technicolor quilt drawn up to the very chin of the world.
I'm thinking LEDs powered by a battery bank within the stick its self, and maybe some sort of a dimmer switch to control the output.

Thoughts?

well fellow /diy/kes, I followed the instructions here: http://wanners.net:8000/blog/2011/02/sheevaplug-lenny-to-squeeze/
to try to upgrade the sheevaplug, and I seem to have sort of bricked it.

I can get into U-boot still, but it freezes. The weird thing is, some of the services are still running! To bad SSH isn't one of them.

Here is what pops up on my screen while booting and connected to serial: http://pastebin.com/Uah7ZUZ1

Here's an nmap scan showing that even though it's pretty derped, some stuff still runs:

nmap -sV 192.168.2.136

If anyone can help, great. If not, then in a day or two I'm going to sell it on eBay, and buy something that still has documentation, an active user community, and doesn't require reworking right out of the box. Like Anon said, they're pretty obsolete, so maybe I'll buy a newer plug, as the PIs seem too slow for some of the things I want to do, like streaming HD video to game consoles.

I offer to send you a new board at my expense and you try trolling my thread now?
