Open up dataflow logs from DDW sd card:
- mount raspberry pi sd card on Mac (following this guide: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/mounting-ext4-linux-usb-drive-on-macos-2024/)
- copy files over
- reset permissions
- logs in ~/Desktop/pi_files/log
Visualise some of the power logs:
Process text files and convert to csv
Smoothing needed to visualise trend
Outline
shortly contextualise/position. what is it really? what's the added/unique value?
experiments hosting a website on a floating very-low-power waterwheel generator raft (bamboo, old bicycle tubes, and electronics)
the archive: overview of data collected and insights/highlights

power logs
plot these (by day, during ddw, during month-long "parked" period)

What are the insights from the data collected?
Dataflow as a “grid-aware” site - being off-grid (electricity wise) - but what’s the rest of context
