 # Merkur Board Device
 The Merkur board is a low power wireless device communicating via the CoAP protocol. Details about the Merkur board please see http://osdwiki.open-entry.com/doku.php/en:projekte:merkur. The sample code is a CoAP proxy running on a Raspberry PI equipped with a Merkur board that acts as a proxy between CoAP and the REST protocol that M2MLabs Mainspring is using. Available CoAP resources are detected by reading from the .well-known resource. For each resource detected, the corresponding sensor models, actor models, device models and devices are created in Mainspring via the REST interface. As default a Merkur board provides sensors for cputemp and battery and an actor for the led. Addtional external sensors are detected automatically when present on the board.
