I'm running Autotap 3.0 on the laptop in the Ram. http://www.autotap.com/
It works but seems a little buggy at times. Once you have your sensor gauges
configure on the screen, you don't want to mess with it when it's reading data.
If I try to mess with it too much, it'll error out and get stuck in a loop
that will require me to kill the process.
