Usage

$3

The usage of widaq nodes is essentially identical to mqtt nodes. There are in, out, and broker nodes which allow to connect to a MQTT broker connected to a Wi DAQ server. In addition to the default functions of these nodes, you can add a schema, which allows the Wi DAQ website to show users what type of input/output you would like and how you would like it to be formated.

$3

If you go to the /widaq/ssh route of the device the broker node will server you a psuedo terminal in the browser.
