Update 3: Testing the Nodes and Getways in Kericho

Dashboard in development

Following the initial meeting with springuin.nl in Nairobi last week and also making strides with hardware and also the firmware to go with it, the team will be busy this week as well testing these sensors:-
Water Pressure
Water Level and
Water Temperature
Wind Speed and Direction

We have also identified locations where the various nodes and gateways will be set up and tested. This includes testing the effect of using an external antenna to get the distance/radius between nodes and gateways and the effect of different weather conditions on the range of radio frequency waves at night and during the day.
As the range tests continue, the team is also starting to look at the database storage of all readings, as well as the graphic User Interface for the platform.
