			This is the PC-side software for the BioBoard, an arduino shield that connects to a set of sensors that allows monitoring of several different, biologically relevant parameters in luquid microbial cultures, such as bacterial or yeast fermentation. The parameters we settled on were temperature, biomass / cell density, acidity (pH), and oxygen levels.

The PC software has two parts:

*[https://github.com/BioBridge/BioBoardLogServer The logging daemon]
*[https://github.com/BioBridge/BioBoardSite The web application]

The logging daemon receives data from the Arduino and logs it to a database. The Arduino can be connected either directly over USB or, if you have an [http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoEthernetShield Ethnernet Shield], over a local network or the Internet.

The web application lets you create new projects and view graphs of the logged data.
