+This is a modular (but probably overcomplicated) sketch for a mobile sensebox, written as a part of my bachelors thesis.
 It measures arbitrary phenomena (currently only implemented: WiFi network count),
 which are geocoded and uploaded to the [openSenseMap](https://opensensemap.org) upon wifi connection.

 ## program behaviour
 Once started, the device will idle until a first GPS fix was established.
 From then on the following procedure runs repeatedly:
+
 1. **measure** phenomena (wifi scan takes ~1sec)
 2. update GPS **location** (takes 0.5-2sec)
 3. **store** measurements to local filesystem (SPIFFS)
