Hi all. Happy New Years Eve !
I am new to merlin and atmt. So i have a couple of noob questions, if ok:
1. Led control: does this add to the gui after installing? Or is scheduling all done via ssh?
2. I have bought a usb 32gb stick (got for $5 via boxing day sales), so the two that I am immediately interested in, led control and scmerlin,
should i mount the usb and create a swap file first? In other words, do they take up a lot of space beyond jffs? Btw, I have a Ax88U.
Thanks in advance.
Happy New Years as well (nice router BTW, I have one as well ;-)
To get the led control and scMerlin (and other good addons) I would recommend this:
1) Insert your usb stick into the router
2) Login via ssh and run “amtm”
3) You will select amtm’s color scheme then be shown the main menu
4) First, format the USB stick using the fd command. Take it’s recommendations (i.e. ext4 with journaling and make sure to label the stick)
5) After format, the router willl reboot.
6) Go back into ssh and run amtm again.
7) Now, setup a swap file. Select the command sw. With a 32gb stick go for the recommended 2Gb swap size. This will take a while.
8) I would then install Entware, again from the menu.
9) Finally, you can now install most any of the addons.
In your case, the lc command will install the LED scheduler. It is managed through the CLI (using ssh in your case).
scMerlin is also good to have around! It does have a web page so once installed you can run scMerlin either via CLI/ssh or through the Web (Addons tab).
Good luck, fun stuff in amtm!
