Your light sensor needs to be connected to a 900-268 module. The 900-268 module will create a closed Edu-Logger WiFi network which will stream the Edu- Logger data to the device of your choosing. Once your device is wirelessly connected to the Edu-Logger network you can run experiments and collect data through a browser of your choosing.
