Nerves Pinger

Tinkertime project to build a basic Pingu-like probe thing using Nerves. The current version consists of two separate applications (both in this repo): a Nerves application (pinger for the business logic and firmware for teh Nerves stuff) which runs on a Raspberry Pi and runs network checks, and a Phoenix web server (ui) which runs on a server and collates results (currently only fro mone probe and only persisted in memory). The Pi posts new results to the Phoenix app.

Everything is currently set up to run for test/demo with ui running on a Mac connected to Wifi, and the Pi connected to the Mac using Internet Sharing.

You should be able to ssh into the Pi and get an iex prompt (it should be on 192.168.2.2, which you can map to nerves.local or whatever in your hosts file). The pinger app is hard-coded to post results to 192.168.2.1, which should be the Mac's address on the shared network.

To escape the remote iex session, type ~. or run :c.q (the usual ^C^C or ^G won't work).

There's a Makefile at the top level to run common tasks (build firmware, burn to SD card, upload firmware update to Pi over ssh).
