Wingnut Connect will scan your local network for Wingnut data collection devices so that you choose which Wingnut you'd like to connect to.

Once connected, you'll be able to see a live data stream of the sensor inputs from your Wingnut. Input data will be presented both in raw analog voltages and binary states, as well as calculated temperatures, currents, pressures, and operational states based on the Wingnut's configuration. Wingnut Connect is intended to be used for validating and troubleshooting Wingnut installations in the field while connected to an operating mechanical system.
