Beer Keyboard combines Arduino and Raspberry Pi... and beer



Sure, Red Bull may have gotten a lot of attention by sponsoring Felix 
Baumgartner's space dive, but it's not the only beverage-maker that has made 
some great accomplishments possible. The Prague-based brewery Staropramen was a 
sponsor at the recent Webstock 2012 conference, where the folks from Robofun 
Create showed off this so-called Beer Keyboard built with the brewer's backing. 
As you can see, it's more beer than keyboard, with 40 cans of Staropramen 
serving as "keys" that just need to be gently pressed to input a letter. To 
make that actually work, Robofun paired an Arduino board with some capacitive 
controllers for the base, and connected that to a Raspberry Pi that linked the 
keyboard to the TV. Unconfirmed reports suggest that the keyboard has since 
gone missing. Head on past the break for a video.
