LASS in English

Introduction

• The Location Aware Sensing System (LASS) is a non-profit Maker project with a focus on open hardware/software/data systems for location-based sensor applications. Although there have been tons of technical documents contributed by the LASS community, most of them are maintained in Chinese. The objective of this page is to become an English portal for the global LASS community, and we will gradually add more content to this page (either translation of existing documents or adding new ones). Your contributions are most welcome!
