I'd encourage everyone to hold off on buying the Slice of PI/O right now. We're still very much in the process of hashing out hardware specifics. With the RPi being a non real-time OS, I'm hesitant to dump a bunch of functionality on it and still trust it to read flow sensor pulses at the speed...

Probably a while still. The project is still under heavy development and not at the point of 'release' yet. Unless you have a pretty good understanding of the technologies in play, I'd hold off.

I hear you. I do IT for my company, so I'm all too versed on how Windows-centric that is. Thankfully, the rest of my time I'm a dev/sysadmin for a system built on Debian. While Windows is great for workstations, Linux rules the world of purpose-built systems. It is an incredible tool for...

Before you return it, make sure your keyboard locale is set correctly: http://elinux.org/index.php?title=R-Pi_Troubleshooting#Re-mapping_the_keyboard_with_Debian_Squeeze

Hey guys, I've been lurking on this thread while I wait for parts to come in. I've been planning on swapping my kegerator over from an old noisy guruplug to a raspberry pi. As long as I've got that in, I'll probably be integrating it with RaspberryPints (great name, btw) and adding some...

Hey mcangeli, Maybe it's because I'm way more familiar with subversion, but I get what you're saying. Give this a try and see if it does the trick: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2648375/git-merging-changes-to-local-branch

The emblem has several pegs that extend through holes into the interior of the door. I'm not sure what the kind of fastener is called, but each peg is retained by a small flat square of metal with a slit in it. After removing that sealant glue, I was able to just work them off with a needle nose...

I'll be interested to see how this comes out!

And now you're going to get me all interested in upgrading my kegerator...

Mine didn't have a folding shelf, but I'd assume it's either held in by rivets or screws. Can you post any close-up pictures of it?

That fridge will serve you well! It's a great model.

I use a desiccant dehumidifier (this one) setting in front of my freezer compartment fan. As long as I'm not opening and closing the door all the time, it lasts months between drying. We'll see how it holds up through a humid ND summer. My only concern with weeping holes would be breaking the...

Of course! I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with yours. Mine is happily purring along.

The 3 wire going up the back is 2AC and the control line from the thermostat to the compressor relay.

Wow. Those pictures look familiar! Good luck on the work. I'll definitely be following this.

Upload to someplace like www.imgur.com, then embed the picture.

I'm really interested to hear how this works. I've played with the idea of using those sensors to monitor my kegs, but they drift when kept under constant load. I'm curious to hear how much that effects your readings.

It got a pretty good reception over at reddit's /r/homebrewing as well. http://www.reddit.com/r/Homebrewing/comments/174fc4/1950s_ge_kegerator_build_rdiy_xpost/ I am sure there's already a lot of crossover, but check it out if you've not seen it! http://www.reddit.com/r/homebrewing

Not sure if trolling...

Fair enough. Others have, but as you said earlier, you wanted to help expose people to the idea of using older fridges. Others have posted full rebuilds as well, but that didn't stop you. The more information and real world data, the better! Either way, that's a great looking build and I hope...
