Stuff running
Pong
A mini pong game built in python and blessings. Will attempt to display time, but throws an error every now and then due to rounding and then cycles around resetting itself. It can be started from the lightdm greeter but in xterm something is really borken ;). See /usr/share/xsessions/pong.desktop
MPD
This board runs MPD and is connected to the Nexia PM which in turn is hooked up to the amplifier and speakers.
Festival
Starting
In order to allow the !speak function of Nurdbot (which lives on tankstation) to connect to this machine, festival can be started in server mode as user slabbetje:
./start_festival.sh &
It should start after a reboot using slabbetje's crontab:
@reboot /home/slabbetje/start_festival.sh &
Access control
Basic ACL is managed in /etc/festival.scm.
Sound on next button click
The next button lying around in the space will trigger a sound. For this a script Zarya made is started with this line in slabbetjes crontab:
@reboot /home/slabbetje/next_button.py &
Doorbell
Analog to next button, line in crontab:
@reboot /home/slabbetje/doorbell.py &
Volume
Volume of mpd can be set independently of system volume (using NURDbot or mpd client). Volume of festival, doorbell and next button sound is the same as system volume and can be set using alsamixer. At the moment system volume is 100%.
