Openwrt is a Linux based system, on which you can get Python or other scripting languages installed. With a pocket router flashed with Openwrt, you have a platform that allows you to quickly build your own connected projects. I shall go through the process of flashing the router with Openwrt firmware, setting up the Python scripting environment and interfacing with Arduino via the USB interface.
