Server status display / control via "Arduino"

[shadowscreen]

Hello rAthena community,

 

I just wanted to present a little concept of mine, wich I will try to realize in the next few weeks.

It's nothing special, nor is it hard to do but it is rather practicable .

 

 

My aim is to programm a microcontroller board (http://arduino.cc/) for

fetching server data (online users, server status, gms/admins online...) and display it on

a small tft lcd screen or the server status via (RGB) LEDs.

 

Additionally, the device should be able to start/restart/stop the servers via buttons and IRC.

 

 

The use of such a little device is the possibility to look after the server and if neccessary restart it

very fast without the need to start a computer or connect a mobile device.

A sound notification after the server has crashed would be possible too.

 

After playing with the arduino, I will update this thread as soon as i ordered the ethernet shield for my board.

 

 

For those who want to rebuild it maybe (one can hope at least)

I will make a tutorial-like description with images in this thread,

additionally I will provide my commented source code for free use.

 

Since I am a starter, don't be too harsh

 

 

Best regards,

Shadowscreen

 

 

Sorry for my bad english but the lack of school shows up pretty much....

*freeze until holidays*   big project for work

Follow your topic, I want to see your progress

Okay, the arduino arrived saturday and i had some time playing and researching

 

After comparing it to the Raspberry Pi, I consider switching to the more powerfull Rasp. since I already have some experience

on Unix systems and Data handling is faster, depending on how much data I plan to process.

 

Also I have some extra stuff in mind wich i can do with the rasp

What happened to your project? Nice idea btw.
