Failure modes

I finally got the 1.0 Chumby hacker board going (with the rt8188USB module). It works 100% managed mode, but can't seem to create an access point or do some things in Ad-hoc mode. In any case I have another ATtiny4313s for J1850, and am ready to test it.

Today a test didn't go so well with two problems. First, the j1850 keeps stopping. I'm wondering about a problem with the I2C. Second, the antenna wire came loose from the connector, so no GPS. The latter is fixed now.

So far things works. I'm also thinking of creating a "chumbase station" - with two wireless connections, one that roams, one that goes to the iPod/Android/Laptop/Kindle. Streaming an MP3 could go through a proxy that would save a complete image, so it would be part of a library so could be listened to again.
