Re: Web lights during competition

You can make a FB/Twitter feed reader in PHP. That could gather the data continuously and process it. Make sure you get a VPS to do it. $~5/month will be cheaper than a $100 bill for overusing your data plan!

You could have the PHP program communicate with a C program to communicate with the Arduino. That Arduino could display the stuff, or you could just use a computer monitor!

Even better would be to have a person in the stands, feeding the data into the sytem. A 900MHz transmitter could connect the stands to the pits! That way, you are away from both 2.4 and 5GHz and the games will continue to run without problems!
