Battery storage telemetry
Part of a smart city project: Raspberry Pis installed with battery systems in the field, and the charts and tools for the data they send back.

The problem
A smart city project puts battery storage out in the field, away from anyone who could walk over and look at it. To know how those batteries are doing, something has to sit with them, read them, and send that back.
What we built
Code for the Raspberry Pis that do that job, and charts and tools on the other end for the people who read the data.
Why we liked it
Most of what we build lives in a browser or on a phone. This ran on small computers out in the real world, which is a different kind of work: there is no screen, nobody nearby to restart anything, and the thing you are measuring is physical. It was a lot of fun.
What we can show
The details belong to the project. On a call we can walk you through how it works.
