Project combining Raspberry Pi, an Arduino and a flowmeter to collect Business Intelligence for Beer Industry.

This project proposes to install a flowmeter between the beer barrel and the tap. Each time a beer is served the information is sent to Carriots. Then, all data is stored and pushed to external information systems to extract useful information by the smart Business Intelligence guys.

Here is the video of the project: Beer flowmeter on Vimeo

You can create a similar project using our tutorial on how to combine Arduino, Raspberry Pi, a flowmeter and Carriots to collect data: https://www.carriots.com/tutorials/Arduino_RPi_Carriots/flowmeter

This tutorial includes all the source code you need to create the project.

Enjoy it!

Very interesting and nice website, well done. I am sure it will show very interesting results once working for a few months.

Neat project! Just wish you wrote in c/c++

After reading python code I was feeling stomach upset. So there is no endif or wend or using symbols to if and while to delineate code blocks besides no need to declare variavles. Just indent the code to indicate code blocks?

Hello Liudr.

It is the normal Python syntax. When you get used is very simple. :grin:

If you want to know more about it, visit http://www.python.org/

I might have to learn the python syntax. Coming from a more sophisticated language, I don't feel learning an interpreting language as beneficial. But, since there's resources to use python on rpi, this can be beneficial. I won't be developing a whole project only using python but only using it for what it does best.

Cheer up!

You can do many things with Python and RPI.

If you have any questions, we will be happy to help.

Hello

How much is the flowmeter that you are using?
Can I buy single units?

Thanks

Hello jnovice

You can buy only one unit smoothly and you can find all the information about the flowmeter that we use in the manufacturer's website:

If you decide to make our tutorial, tell us your experience.

Enjoy it!
