Burdett has redone the closet demo
we showed at OpenWest last summer using the new engine running on a
Raspberry Pi. One of the things I didn't like about using the classic pico
engine in this scenario was that it made the solution overly reliant on a
cloud-based system (the pico engine) and consequently was not robust under
network partitioning. If the goal is to keep my machines cool, I don't want
them overheating because my network was down. Now the closet controller can run
locally with minimal reliance on the wider Internet.

I've
hired two new students, Joshua Olson and Connor Grimm, to join Adam Burdett and
Nick Angell in my lab. We're planning to spend the summer getting Manifold, our
pico-based Internet of Things platform, running on the new engine. This will
provide a good opportunity to improve the new pico engine and give us a good
IoT system for future experiments, supporting our idea around social things.
