## Microcontroller
## Microcontroller
Each device or sensor (or sensor cluster) will have its own microcontroller. This microcontroller will communicate control the device and broadcast acquired data. For this we need a microcontroller platform that is easy to extend, standardised and relatively cheap (so we can keep spares at hand).

## Network
## Network
In the first iteration we require a physically isolated network. Each measurement device broadcasts the data via UDP.

## Data acquisition and control
## Data acquisition and control
Because the data is broadcast, the use of redundant data acquisition devices is possible.

In the simplest form data acquisition and control will run on the same computer/laptop controlling the experiment.

## Software
## Software
Ideally all software will be written in Python or MicroPython. The system should be open source and free software.
