Overview

Runs on Flowers, and code is on Github.

Access list is currently a text file, copied via a script from Lovelace. The text file just consists of card ID and name. To add a card:

lovelace:~$ doorbotcontrol/addid.sh

It uses netcat to robonaut on Babbage to announce whenever the door is opened.

Override

ssh flowers@flowers

sudo ~/openDoor.py

The password is hackspace. If the arduino has somehow changed port, you might need to edit that in openDoor.py

Please note that once unlocked, the door must be physically opened and closed again to relock.

If you unlock the door remotely, use the webcam to check someone has entered the space.
