h1. NodeBots Resources

J. is investigating how to automate the test rig to minimize user induced error during sensor comparison tests and later performance tests.  This plan was inspired by working with Nodebots.

h2. Examples

* "Practical Introduction to iot with Arduino + Node.js + Plotly":http://adilmoujahid.com/posts/2015/07/practical-introduction-iot-arduino-nodejs-plotly/ - older plot.ly info, but still a good resource
* "Tutorial that uses sqlite and Node.js":https://cozy.io/en/hack/getting-started/first-app.html - really about "Cozy":https://cozy.io/en/, but covers sqlite with Node.js which looks like a good choice if we run the test rig from an RPi
* "Real Time Weather Data Visualizations with socket.io and D3.js":http://www.bmc.med.utoronto.ca/bmcwiki/doku.php/technology:media_technologies:technology:dataviz_d3
* "Realtime Data Visualization Using D3, serial port, & socket.io":http://shivganesh.com/2015/08/realtime-data-visualization-using-d3-serial-port-socket-io/
* "System load monitoring with nodejs+socket.io+flot":https://ricochen.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/system-load-monitoring-with-nodejssocket-ioflot/
