Readme link to airqualityegg.com not working

Just a friendly note - the link to airqualityegg.com in the README isn't rendering properly - it navigates to a non-existent github.com page (for me, at least):
https://github.com/jmsaavedra/Air-Quality-Egg/blob/master/airqualityegg.com

I found your project via the NYC BigApp event.

Sensor doesn't reconnect without power cycling both units

Is there a way to fix this issue? Having to power cycle both units to get them back online seems counterintuitive.

I see from the serial logs that the sensor can seemingly know its previous base station and look for that, but it doesn't send data for some reason. Is this a known issue or a new one?

compile errors

Hi, new to arduino programming, following the https://vimeo.com/58550465 Egg-3Reprogramming guide closely, the AQEBase will not compile, screen print below

• I am certainly doing something silly, any tips? Compile error messages below:

Pachube -> Cosm

It might be worth updating this to refer to Cosm instead of Pachube.

TODO:

1. Change calls to api.pachube.com to api.cosm.com
2. Change X-PachubeApiKey to X-ApiKey
3. Update references to Pachube and pachube.com in README etc...

Might save the odd bit/byte here and there too.

EtherCard buffer overflow results in sending garbage to Cosm

Hi,

I'm one of the devs at Cosm, and we were trying to figure out an issue we were having which we realised was due to a feed on our system containing 50000 datastreams. When we investigated further we realised that this feed is coming from an Air Quality Egg.

On looking into it further I think the issue is the one discussed in the comments here: http://jeelabs.org/2012/04/11/ethercard-improvements/#comments

What possibly seems to be happening is that when sending data to Cosm, the stash space gets used up and not freed, and when it is all used up the library does some weird buffer overflow thing, and starts sending random snippets of the last response from Cosm instead of the data it's supposed to be sending. We had a bug in our system which then created new datastreams for every incoming random snippet which lead to the problems we were seeing.

I don't have an AQE to test with, but I do have a AQE shield running on a Nanode. One of the comments in that thread suggested a solution which I've been running for the last 24 hours, which seems to have solved the problem locally for me, but maybe you have a better solution?

This was the comment:

http://jeelabs.org/2012/04/11/ethercard-improvements/#comment-5081

so in the function I have that actually posts the data to Cosm I do something like this:

if (stash.freeCount() < 10) {
  stash.initMap(56);
}

Here's the feed I have running: https://cosm.com/feeds/84633 and you can see that the freeCount does drop steadily throughout the day, and doing this reset has so far managed to keep the shield running normally.
