Using the unique capabilities of the Intel Galileo board (RIP), the software broadcast a Wi-Fi-hotspot and web control interface to the user's phone or tablet. Users could see hardware inputs to the board change in real-time, directly control the output pins, or calibrate sensors and map relationships between sensors and actuators.
