You could use the freerunner as a SMS gateway, you don't need a screen for that. That is something i use, i can send a text message and perform some action (switching lights on or off ) Or have a text message send to my other phone if a long running job is done. Would you like to explain how do you do that? (: Regards Francesco ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Would you like to explain how do you do that? (: Regards Francesco Sure, A while ago i wrote a daemon that handles the GSM modem ( phone calls and text messages ) The gui is separate from the daemon and can be run on a remote computer. ( desktop, laptop, whatever ) The daemon listens on stdin and sends output to stdout, so you can use it without a screen at all. You need to flash the root image and the kernel and after that you can login via ssh trough USB. After you set up your wlan, you can ssh in and read and send text messages etc. If you think this is something you would like to try, please let me know, so i can provide you with the kernel and the rootfs image for you to flash.

Maybe you can share your ideas on what to do with such a device. Many thanks and happy easter Robin Hi Robin, You could use the freerunner as a SMS gateway, you don't need a screen for that. That is something i use, i can send a text message and perform some action (switching lights on or off ) Or have a text message send to my other phone if a long running job is done. Any idea if the touch screen still works? you might be able to use it as a mp3 player, or alarm clock if it does. Or use it as a gps tracking device. If you like none of the ideas, you could also donate it to the community, perhaps someone can use it as a base for a gta04.

I've been wanting to get a screen for that, but haven't had the time to look around. The silkscreen on my debug board says it's a 1973 model, not a GTA02. Did the pinouts/display controller change between the 1973 and GTA02 ?
