Hi all,
I am a total newb so forgive me if I am repeating the question but I would like to try running kegbot on OpenWRT. I am just getting my project started but her it is in a nutshell. I work for company with 40 bar/restaurants. We have used commerical beer monitoring and found it expensive and lacking features. So I secured some money and started the project.
Right away I realized the need for network support preferrable wireless. Any existing code or projects offering this support? I saw a post about using OpenWRT as a serail to network converter but didn't find the details. So I hatched a different idea. I will need to monitor roughly 14 inputs. To do this and keep cost down I would place multiple Cisco NSLU2 routers running OpenWRT, kegbot and SQLite. I would then add my own application for transporting the data collected on each router to a centralized server. Am I crazy is there a better way already implemented out there.
My hope is to use my departments resources and company funds to build a trunkey hardware and software package with a robust web interface for monitor multiple kegbots in multiple locations.
Thanks,
Pete
