Plastic Lists

A record player extension

Setup

Designed to run on a Raspberry Pi, with RFID reader connected to a usb port. Run:

git clone https://openlab.ncl.ac.uk/gitlab/b3030144/self-management.git
cd self-management

Create a .env file in the root of the directory and add the following:

CLIENT_ID=<SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID>
CLIENT_SECRET=<SPOTIFY_SECRET>
REDIRECT_URL=http://localhost:8888/callback
PORT=8888
DEBUG=false
DEVICE_ID=<PLAYBACK DEVICE ID>

Then run:

chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh

This will reboot the Pi, with the api and rfid reader scanning at boot.
