As a software developer on the verge of buying an AIM SOLO DL, I'm really interested in this. But your instructable seems more focused on what you couldn't do and why. Almost like you are working through your thought process. That should all be left out and the instructable should be the polished set of instructions that remain.

You probably want something in between your work and freeboard. This intermediary will provide data for freeboard to poll and would also be where you transmit to the pit area.

I wish I had the time to work through your instructable, the actual build looks really cool and if you could transmit to the pit you could work towards having an analysis waiting when you get back from each run. For autocross this could make the difference between 1st and 2nd.

Finally, in freeboard.datasources.js it is multiplying the timeout by 1000. You could make your own version of this 'datasource plugin' that just takes the raw timeout as milliseconds instead of assuming it is in seconds; that should speed up polling.
