So I'm in the earlyish phases of planning my electric brewery. I've got most of the parts for my control panel and started to see stuff for raspberry pi's that intreagued me. I had planned on going with PID's, and most likely still will, but I've got a question.
Is there anything that a Raspberry pi can do that an old laptop can't? Hear me out. How hard would it be to set up something where an arduino controls my eHerms system, and the arduino wirelessly talks to my laptop or PC for me to control things from? Is this even possible? I figure it wouldn't work running windows 10 or something, but putting linux wouldn't be too difficult. Is it one of those things that is possible but a stupid idea for a reason that a noob like me wouldn't understand? Can the arduino not be outfitted with some kind of wifi thingamajig?
