Raspberry Pi Software Install | Pourd Software | KegNet Client Software | Raspi Adapter Daughter Board Hardware | GPIO Pin Assignment
The KegNet client consists of a small, cheap, internet connected computer attached to a liquid flow meter and a temperature sensor. This allows it to constantly track beer consumption and refrigerator temperature, which is then transmitted to the central KegNet servers for processing and display.
