Calibrate temperature and humidity sensors so that data collection is accurate and precise

The log file output is hard to deal with and could be organized in a more useful format. This will make QA analysis easier.

Incorrect/nonoptimal costs

do something with the data.. store it? send it over serial?

-cost/scaling
-sensor accuracy
-% tx/rx
-power consumption
-range
-network scalability
-setup difficulty/time to build
-feature list

We need code to create and read log files that indicate transmission percent. We need to record this data with variable number of nodes, and at variable distance. These results should be added to the Testing/QA section of the README.

could be the abstract

This will allow all the scripts to run in the background as they should. We should not have to leave a tmux session open in order to leave everything running on the server.

Create Poster for the Week of Undergraduate Excellence, for DSH, and for other presentations that may come up

Estimate basic build cost and build cost improvement as the network grows.

-polling for request from gateway
-reading dht11 state
-transmitting data

Plan on using ifdef statements so it can be turned off instead of commented out

Initial research on what should be on the custom PCB

Add this as a section before network setup in readme

Come up with the library we would like to use for the Adafruit boards and any other coding considerations. Has anyone else may similar libs or networks that we can take a look at?

The network id currently must be hard-coded into the script. Now that the serial communication with the gateway is handled by a python script, it would be much better if the network ID could be set from the script. This would mean you could set the network ID in a config file on the server.

The current README requires more nodes than is necessary with the new gateway setup.
