I would like to know if anyone has successfully implemented using Arduino for any reason with either Limey Linux or ACiD. What I'd like to do is use the Arduino for it's analog inputs, at least this time. The initial idea is to monitor battery voltage and utility mains (using a wall wart for step-down) so if the battery voltage or utility mains drop below a set 'low' threshold, the allstar node will alert my via text/email. The another text/email when voltage has returned to another 'normal' threshold. Because there's already an Internet connection, I don't need to buy another Arduino shield and add more programming to the mess. Eventually, I'd like to change the CWID of the node, to reflect what type of power it's using. The node will ID (KB9LFZ) as it does normally for my simplex node, then if the utility mains fail, it will ID with KB9LFZ/BP.... or something to that effect. So, how to make the asterisk communicate harmoniously with Arduino while using Limey Linux or ACiD. There are a couple youtube videos with folks using asterisk with VoIP PBX distros such as FreePBX and AsteriskNOW, so there must be a way with Allstar versions of asterisk. ~Benjamin, KB9LFZ Allstar node 28569
