Chimera Doorlock

A Tessel powered RFID doorlock for the space, interfacing with Cobot

Development

Follow the start guide on Tessel.io.

Install the correct version of node using nvm:

nvm install
nvm use
npm install

Now install t2-cli globally:

npm install -g t2-cli

Plug your Tessel in.

Now you can deploy to your connected Tessel device:

Testing

We use Jest to do testing of the core code in the library. Make sure to write tests for new code or update tests on existing code as needed. Test files are next to their source file named with a .test.js extension.

Run tests once: npm test

Run tests watching for changes: npm run watch-test
