hooovahh Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Thanks crelf. I'm definitely going to try to make another one for the gift exchange next year, but where am I going to get another empty mini-keg. I smell a beer night. :beer: :beer: Quote Link to comment

I'm having trouble seeing the PXI chassis built into the keg... Without one, how do you program it? Quote Link to comment

hooovahh Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I didn't realize that it needed any programming. But I've always wanted to look for a reason to use one of those NI USB DIO devices for a personal project (since they are relatively cheap) I know I could fit a Pico-ITX PC in there, then have a USB wireless adapter connecting to my home network. Then have LabVIEW running on the beer keg PC, and have it control a USB DO clicking a relay and turning on and off the lamp. Kinda seems like alot for turning on and off a lamp, and convoluted. Now that I think about it I should try to fit a PC in a mini-keg. Have it be fully functional with all the IO ports of a normal PC. Quote Link to comment
Michael Aivaliotis Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Anyone who has a link to the LAVA Forums on their website (like Hooovahh) is cool in my books. Quote Link to comment
