Door control system

From London Hackspace Wiki

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
