Flask backend for RFID personal library

Hey there! You probably found this repo from my slide deck

To run the application, you'll need:

• A Raspberry Pi that has been setup according to this blog
• 13.56 MHz RFID tags

Running local

Since your local machine is unlikely to be able to expose SPI, you'll need to comment out imports in routes.py for

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
from mfrc522 import SimpleMFRC522
reader = SimpleMFRC522()

as well as any code that utilizes the reader (found in register_post() scanning())

To get the dependencies and run

$ poetry install
$ poetry run app

On the RPI, poetry is difficult to install, so I'll provide a pip freeze of sorts that this project uses

RPi.GPIO
mfrc522
Flask
Flask-Migrate
Flask-SQLAlchemy
Jinja
SQLAlchemy
