About

This repo is a part of the Software for Portable Devices (CS F314) course. In this project, you will take input from the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi, and make the TRex jump based on that.

Pre-requisite

1. Install node.js (v6.x.x LTS) from https://nodejs.org/en/
2. npm should also have been installed. Run npm install npm@latest -g to update npm to the latest version. If you get an error, try sudo npm install npm@latest -g.
3. Run git clone https://github.com/thepulkitagarwal/sdpd-t-rex-runner.git or download a zip of that repository.
4. cd into the local copy of the repo on your terminal.
5. Run npm install. (Note: npm warn is not a problem. You can go ahead with the next step.)
6. Run npm start.
7. Open a separate terminal, cd into the local copy of the repo, and run python raspiController.py. (You might have a problem if you are using python3 instead of python 2)
8. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000 and press space.
9. The TRex should automatically jump every 0.5 seconds.

Setup

1. Run git clone https://github.com/cryst12/sdpd-t-rex-controller.git or download a zip of this repository.
2. cd into the local copy of the repo on your terminal and copy raspiController.py into a raspberry pi.
