|
|
|
## Objective
|
|
- Monitor how much critters are running on their wheels, at [The Creature Conservancy](http://www.thecreatureconservancy.org/). Physical activity could correlate with health

|
## Features
|
|
- NFC antenna for quick reading/changing of metadata (i.e. setting the animal name for transmission)
|
|
- RTC (Real Time Clock)
|
|
