Space Bucket Dashboard

Enhances a Space Bucket with a sweet dashboard

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• node.js
• Python
• Adafruit Python GPIO
• MongoDB
• Dropbox Token - Create an application, then generate an access token (which is unique to you)
• GraphicsMagick

Running

First, get the repository and install the dependencies

git clone https://github.com/andrewburgess/space-bucket-pi space-bucket-pi
cd space-bucket-pi
npm install

To run the development version (which uses nodemon and hot reloading webpack)

sudo npm start

To run the production version (which will compile the client scripts)

sudo npm run build
sudo npm run start:prod

Note: you need to run with sudo to read/write to the pins

Configuring

These are the available configuration values that should be set before running. These can be defined as Environment Variables, via the command line, or in a config.${NODE_ENV}.json file.

Key	Env Name	CLI Arg	Description
cron	CRON	cron	Cron Tab string used for capturing an image, uploading to dropbox, and saving environment record
dropbox.token	DROPBOX_TOKEN	dropbox-token	Access token for your dropbox app
log	LOG	log	Logfile location
photocell.pin	PHOTOCELL_PIN	photocell-pin	Pin number on the raspberry pi (defaults to #37)
port	PORT	port	Port number the server listens on

The mongodb connection string defaults to localhost with no username/password

Notes

• This is fairly tailored to my particular setup. Some modifications may be needed to work on your bucket, or maybe you can submit a PR making things more generic
