Changes to Short description
 
The goal of Open Pipe Kit (OPK) is to be the missing plumbing between sensors and databases that will empower thousands of data journalists, civic hackers, farmers, etc. to collect data without needing a programmer's assistance or being locked into one data platform from a proprietary turn-key solution.

When the OPK is ready, anyone will be able to build a Pipe for $60 of readily accessible parts, access the Pipe User Interface from a smartphone or PC, choose a sensor from the list of supported sensors, plug the sensor into the Pipe, and then choose a location to stream data to. If the sensor or database you're hoping to use isn't on our list of drivers, someone with programming knowledge can contribute a driver for that sensor or database back to the Open Pipe Kit project. It's Open Source!
