# iPad/Arduino Controlled KegBot, by Yelp


[YouTube video BwVoir5HSo4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwVoir5HSo4)


Engineers at [Yelp](http://www.yelp.com) have put together an Arduino and iPad controlled Keg-o-rator.  By swiping their RFID they can track how much a person is drinking, collect statistics about how others enjoyed the beer (by rating it), and maintain a leader-board of the office.  Everything used in the project is based on off-the-self components.  My guess is that they are communicating between the iPad and Arduino over the iPod Dock's i2c interface.  It looks like they are using the [PodGizmo iPod Dock Conntector Breakout board](http://shop.kineteka.com/products/100-sansabreakout-board.aspx) available at [Kinetka Systems](http://shop.kineteka.com/).  Drink up!
