Book of Casting

The intention of this repo was originally intended to repeat the IR Raspberry Potter project. It adapted to a simple client/server with sockets, so you don't really NEED to use a raspberry pi. Here's an idea, just mount a tablet into a book and serve up the webpage.

Check out the blog post at: http://cjweed.com/book-of-casting-rev1/

The rest of this readme is just notes for myself.

Setting up Raspberry PI

1. Install Stretch via typical methods
2. Use this guide to install openCV: https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2017/09/04/raspbian-stretch-install-opencv-3-python-on-your-raspberry-pi/

Wiring it up

Adafruit IR LEDS: part 388 Voltage drop: 1.6V Current Rating: 100mA LEDS: 2

Via ledcalculator.net = +3.3 -- +{led}- +{led}- --- 1ohm --- GND

Plan

Raspberry Potter script sends a POST to http://localhost:3001/api/cast?name=[circle] Via socket io the output is displayed on the screen Backdoor commands to send the same messages via a separate screen
