@editorialbot query scope

@xanderchinxyz – many thanks for your submission to JOSS. I'm going to start a scope review amongst the JOSS editors to decide if this submission is research software as defined by JOSS. This does not mean that it is not software that is useful in research, but just that JOSS might not consider it in scope for review as research software.

This process will likely take a week or so to complete.

@xanderchinxyz – could you please explain how this software can be tested?

@xanderchinxyz – could you please explain how this software can be tested?

Hi @arfon the software can be tested with a SparkFun ESP32 WROOM Thing Plus that has a mounted SD card. Sample data from the CSV file can then be shown and displayed when connecting to the locally hosted website. However, to test the control functionality, additional hardware from the BREAD system is required, which we're happy to provide if needed.
