Welcome to the CTC15 wiki!

A key component of the weekend was discussion around how data from sensors makes its way onto the network and then to the various collection sites. As part of our efforts to understand this, we put together a diagram of the information as we understand it. Twitter photo of schematic

The data is sent from your sensor to your local wifi where it is sent onward to both Madavi and Luftdaten, and from there you can then pull down various maps, graphs and archived data. You can also gather up 'live' data from the last five minutes.

Madavi-api http://opendata-stuttgart.github.io/feinstaub-map/#5/54.496/4.261 with Github repo at https://github.com/opendata-stuttgart/madavi-api

Luftdaten https://github.com/opendata-stuttgart/feinstaub-api and the details of constructing your own device to send info to these servers https://luftdaten.info/en/home-en/
