Brew Pi

This is a project to create a continuous monitor for homebrewing, written as a final project for CHEM 480 at CSUCi. Currently it runs on a Raspberry Pi and uses an arduino connected via USB to collect data about the brew and display it on a continuous plot.

The program is written in Processing and requires the Arduino CLI to programatically upload Arduino sketches as needed.
