Getting It Working

Getting It Working

You should now be at a stage where everything should work. On your main computer, open up server/main.py and run it. Install any required dependencies using pip, and then you should be good to power on your button box which should automatically run without HDMI being connected.

Congratulations on getting this far! Please send me photos of your creation: hey@itsjack.dev

Basic Troubleshooting

• Is your Raspberry Pi connected to Wifi?
• Is your PC IP address static?
• Do the client/server auth tokens match?
• Are the button GPIO pins connected correctly?

Troubleshooting

If you have any issues at all, please put in an Issue and I will aim to respond the same day. I will collate common issues here and update the wiki / code to hopefully make this process as easy as possible for anyone following this wiki.

Feature Requests

If you have any cool ideas for this project, please get in touch. I want to keep the code relatively simple here so it is easy for others to understand and learn from, but at the same time I don't mind maybe making a separate repository for a more feature rich version - after all I'm using the box myself so I'd love to try any cool ideas!
