Rack project with computer

My very first multiple module system. Consists of a computer and I/O ports. Used for controlling a linux server and the lights in the room.

Rackbron this stuff you did is amazing 5 stars :D :P

I am just getting into making modules kinda like yours but with a slight variance to suit my linux server and my friend's linux cluster :P. This is an excellent concept that can be increased further to do even more than what you have now :P keep up the good work.

Thanks for the feedback, i also use linux for my project. You'll find all the details on my website.

what does the web server cost to maintain so you can control your lights from your cell?

[rackbron]

my web server is located in my apartment, so the only expense I have is the internet connection.

why do you use AVR? is it not funnier with a PC and a touchscreen tft? u can build it into the wall and make nice animated manus... all this stuff ist not really posible with AVR... or much harder lets say ;)

[rackbron]

I like systems where the computer is not a essential part. It is possible to connect AVRs to the computer, using the com or usb port. That, using a touchscreen would be cool. Then our lights won't turn off if the computer do.

AVR microcontrollers is also small, cheap and does not use a lot of power. So I love them:)

Looks fun...the lights on the top of the rack make me think you hit the jackpot on a slot machine.

Wow.. jeg har kigget på dine videoer og projekter - det er virkelig tøfft! Virkelig et blæret rackskab, det kan du være stolt af...! På skolen benytter vi ATMega32 og c-programmering (kommunikation med træningscykel, og PC (java)), dine videoer er meget motiverende. kjempeflott..

I used it to control the lights in my room, and also monitor the server and internet connection. This project is now abandond, my new project is driven by AVR microcontrollers.
