I've done proof of concept at home, but not yet on the road.
That's cool! Making your own router essentially. Looks like it is running a custom linux distro? I did some work with programming PIC microchips and have done a fair amount of programming arduino for cnc and machine control. Never did anything with raspberry pi, but it looks like linux which I copy-paste my way through when neccessary :o It probably uses many of the same packages that dd-wrt uses in my system. Do you know what the hardware cost of that is? It could be worth learning.
Down the road I want to integrate more embedded systems in the Lance to nurture my laziness.
For example, I want to use an IP camera as a reverse camera. Then I can use my phone as my reverse camera system and a way to see who is knocking at the back door. If I park the camper in a location with internet access, I would be able to monitor it from anywhere in the world. I imagine this could be useful when we are abroad.
