Dubbed the Raspberry Pi, It's an ARM-based machine with 128MB RAM, has a single HDMI port out on one end and a single USB 2.0 port in on the other end to connect peripherals like keyboard and mouse.

It's priced to sell for USD$25 each (!) and they are aiming for general distribution in about a year's time...

When it comes to the SATA disks, I'd prefer 2 onboard ports (not using onboard USB adapters), but am happy to buy a (mini)PCIe adapter to use, or a port multiplier (that'll still be faster than my current setup).

I've found an old idle air control valve from a vehicle that has similar gas flow rates and a 0-12v servo motor on it which I am going to use to control the flow. This will be for the proof of concept, I'll look into more precise control when I see how the valve performs. I will use a PID controller and some tuning software I have to model the bbq and tune it correctly. I've modeled and tuned low temperature separators and other control...

Was wondering if any of you had any ideas of what cheap system i can use for monitoring stuff like pH/temperatures/water levels/dissolved oxygen. Would like to do this remotely.

Ultimately in the future would like some control over some valves/pumps.

Any recommendations ?

Arduino came to mind, but is there any others that are far more user friendly?

I have experience with Arduinos, and I love being able to work on a sketch on my desktop/laptop, then compile and upload the sketch to the Arduino via Bluetooth/USB etc.

Given that the programs running via a Raspberry Pi are contained within the Pi OS, I'm guessing this isn't an option? Furthermore, if I wanted to work on a particular Python program for the Pi, I'd have to physically connect the Pi up to KVM?
