your beer guardian seems an appropriate use of arduino
I use an old guino to run my water softener with some cheezy arduino script. There is a time and a place for arduino and I think you nailed it there
So anyway what is the name of this thread branch anyway? You happy with falconuino?!? Settle on a unique name and I can get get out of the way. Call it mpguino something and I have to press my pro-modder-feature/anti-arduino-for-projects-of-this-complexity agenda relentlessly.
