It struck me that sensors are locational by nature; and that QGIS provides an excellent ready made HMI and deployment framework.</div><div><br></div><div>Our work on the wireless sensor network continues in the background, but the Telemetry Layer plugin has been kept generic so that developers of other MQTT related services can integrate their platforms.</div><div><br></div><div>A few disclaimers:</div><div><br></div><div>- this is my first python development so please forgive variances in coding style as I mature.</div><div>- I love developing on my Mac, and recent tests on Windows and Linux indicate stability issues ( which seem for the most part have been dealt to on the Mac )</div><div>- I need help. The project is at a stage where more eyes would be beneficial.</div><div>- I am new to running an open source project. My recent background has been running a Drupal web dev/hosting shop using paid contractors - so please bare with me as I familiarise myself with the protocols of voluntary collaboration</div><div><br></div><div>Acknowledgements - a big thanks to:</div><div><br></div><div>- Larry Shaffer who helped me establish my initial dev. environment</div><div>- Chris Cook - another New Zealander - with his pointers on the user interface</div><div>- Matthias who is assisting with the custom setEditForm ( which sort of works on my Mac but not on any other platform currently )</div><div><br></div><div>GIT Repo can be found here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://github.com/nzfarmer1/telemetrylayer">https://github.com/nzfarmer1/telemetrylayer</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Andrew</div><div><br></div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div><br></div></span></span></span></div></div></body></html>
