The front door Beaglebone will serve two purposes, to have a scrolling marquee of public information about PS1 on the screen, as well as allowing access via the RFID reader. | |||
'Note that as of 4/6/2016 the RFID stuff hasn't been re-enabled; gonna work on that soon.' | |||
== Marquee == | |||
The BBB has a 4" [https://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-55844/l/expansion-board-for-beaglebone-family-with-7-inch-lcd BB-View screen] attached to it. The screen provides a 4" touch-enabled (touch is disabled on this BBB because it isn't necessary) X session for running graphical programs. | |||
=== PS1-FrontDoor === | |||
The marquee program is called PS1-FrontDoor. It is a C++/QML Program using the [https://www.qt.io Qt] framework. The version of Qt is 5.6.1 and was compiled directly on the Beaglebone, taking somewhere between 48 and 60 hours to compile. | |||
