Hey - I wrote pijs.io and would be happy to answer any questions or read your comments. Feel free to post in the comments!

This is really exciting. Two questions:

1. How easy is it to set up the rasberryPi to send data to an existing Meteor app using PIJS?

2. Any chance you are speaking at Meteor Devshop 4?

1. Great question. Would be a great new example. It would look something like:

var ddp = require('ddp').new({ 'host': 'yourapp.meteor.com', 'port': 80 }); ddp.connect(function() { ddp.call("a-method", [ params ] });

And I guess that's about it ;) You might want to add a setInterval() to make sure this gets run regularly.

2. Unfortunately I am out of the bay area for a few months. Will be back in september and would love to meet! Until then, we have hn comments ;)

This looks great. I am designing a sensor for bee hives at my university using a rasberry pi. I am building an app that will all users to interact with the data using d3 and crossfilter, and will display the new data coming in in real time. I was trying to figure out how to get the Pi to talk to the meteor app, this looks like it might be the ticket.
