Compressor IoT Project

At MacroFab we have a large industrial air compressor that provides compressed air to our pick and place and various machines.  I want to monitor the compressors pressure and run time to help influence the maintenance schedule for it.

Stephen and I talked about the Compressor IoT project on the following Podcasts: MEP EP#68, MEP EP#70, and MEP EP#74.
