  MEAME2 exposes a HTTP interface for interacting with the MEA2100 lab equipment

** API
   Rather than listing the API here, you should take a look at the router file
   [[file:MEAME2/router.cs::Get%5B"/status"%5D%20=%20_%20=>%20this.hello();][router.cs]].

   The POST methods require a JSON body in the HTTP request. By reading the source
   you should be able to discern what sort of object is expected. For instance the
   connectDAQ procedure attempts to deserialize the body to a DAQconfig object as 
   seen here: [[attempt to deserialize][Attempt to deserialize]]
   The "blueprints" for the config JSONs are found in Commands.cs, for instance the
   DAQconfig object is here: [[file:MEAME2/Commands.cs::public%20class%20DAQconfig%20{][DAQconfig object]] 
   
   This corresponds to a JSON looking something like
   #+BEGIN_SRC javascript
{
  "samplerate": 1000,
  "segmentLength": 100
}
   #+END_SRC
   
   The samplerate is obvious, the segmentLength less so. 
   When you send a HTTP POST with the JSON object shown above MEAME will listen for
   an incoming TCP connection on port 12340. Since there is only one port for 60
   channels the data must be multiplexed. A segment length of 100 means that the TCP
   stream will be segmented, the first 100 integers (400 bytes) will be data for 
   0, the next 100 ints for channel 1 and so forth.
   
   In order to make the deserialization easier there is a second port that outputs
   sawtooth waves. By listening on port 12341 you will get sawtooth waves in the same
   format specified in the JSON POST which you can use to verify the correctness of
   your deserialization logic.
   
** Inner workings
   The router calls methods from the controller class. The controller interfaces with
   three objects: The DAQ module (DAta acQuisition), the DSP module and the TCP module.
   The TCP module listens for incoming TCP connections (TCP is for the data stream,
   don't confuce TCP and HTTP) and feeds data to listening channels. Relevant files
   are connections.cs and channelServer.cs

   No documentation is provided for the DSP and DAQ module, enter at your own peril.
