Open-Mesh

We all love our blinking routers when they happily exchange our data. One of the things we have definitely not thought of while designing batman-adv: These LEDs can even have a higher meaning! Sean McIntyre and Jonathan Kiritharan created this nice Conway’s Game of Life implementation on 8 routers based on OpenWrt and batman-adv. Enjoy this fine art project!

Thanks for this wonderful hack!
