Introduction

The PC software has two parts:

The logging daemon receives data from the Arduino and logs it to a database. The Arduino can be connected either directly over USB or, if you have an Ethnernet Shield, over a local network or the Internet.

The web application lets you create new projects and view graphs of the logged data.

Setup

To get started, you should first install the software. There is an installation guide on the web app's github page (scroll down to find it). Right now the installation guide is specific to Ubuntu Linux, though it should work for Debian and other Debian-based Linux distributions as well. The software is written in Ruby, so it should run on other operating systems such as Windows and OS X, though we are still working on the installation guides for these.
