The document outlines the Aiko project, which focuses on creating a distributed network of connected devices using OpenWRT and Arduino. It highlights the development and installation of Aiko Gateway and Aiko Node systems for applications in home automation, wearable computing, and more. Additionally, it invites participation from interested individuals to build their own Aiko Gateway and engage in community contributions.

- 11. (aikoNode) • Modular frameworkfor event-driven device handlers • Simple way to create more complex Arduino sketches • Includes a simple communication mechanism ... • Based on S-Expressions (Lisp / Scheme) • (node name timestamp (stream value unit)) • Abstraction layer on top of different communications • Multiple AikoNodes can interact with AikoGateway • http://github.com/geekscape/Aiko
- 12. (aikoGateway) • Server (router)for event-driven communications • Written in Lua for specifically for OpenWRT • Also runs on Linux, Mac OS X and other stuff • Handles interactions between multiple AikoNodes and web-sites, such as http://watchmything.com • Low barrier to entry for anyone wishing to hack • Doesn’t require a GCC cross-compiler tool-chain • Edit on-the-fly and restart the process ... easy ! • http://github.com/geekscape/Aiko
