A simple proof of concept of Meteor with electronics, see this demo:

Connect a potentiometer to your Arduino board.

Then upload the Arduino sketch node_serial_client.ino:
To install Meteor run:
$ curl https://install.meteor.com | sh$ cd potentiometer/meteor
$ meteorBrowse to http://localhost:3000
The gateway is a node Meteor client that stands for data at the serial port to send to the Meteor app.
Go to the Node download site.
$ npm install ddp
$ npm install serialportUsing: https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-serialport with lots of examples!
$ node node-client.js
