Dear Dave
Sorry that I missed this email yesterday. Thank you very much for the
great work!
The second item that you listed is actually what my students struggled
with. This is one of the important processes to make sure we get
meaningful data. As Nathaniel mentioned, we could install it at Jenny
Jump so the data from your magnetometer can be compared with data from
our existing magnetometer.
Very much looking forward to hearing from you about your further progress!

Regards,
Hyomin

It seems that if remote users can acquire the data via a websocket connection, we have enough connectivity for a beginning array of a (few) dozen or so. How much security can we skip over just to get some testing done?
