Welcome to SHEPHERD’s documentation!

To learn how shepherd enables research into the most challenging problems of coordinating battery-less sensor nodes, take a look at our paper. To get a basic understanding of what shepherd does, read the Basics. If you have the hardware on your desk and want to get started, read Getting started. To record/emulate data on a group of shepherd nodes, use the shepherd-herd command line utility.
