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
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
