The brief

Make the live data meaningful.

Ambition Community Energy (ACE) owns the community turbine in Lawrence Weston. Its turbine helps generate income for community work. These creations use its live data to show what the turbine is doing, with the public screen in mind. Share your source code under an open licence so others can learn from your display, reproduce it and build on your ideas.

We strongly encourage you to include your source code under an open licence, with a README that helps others run and adapt it.
