Streaming Data…
Finally, success! We have live data! We worked hard this summer to devise a automatic configuration system for both booting and identifying information about the sensors attached to the Node Controller. This is the descriptor file for the sensor board currently out in the weather: /————————————–\ | Instance ID = 5372696193135151419956 | \————————————–/ Sensor ID […]
