Makey Makey Button Server

This is a little Node.js server/client that uses Web sockets to transmit button press events across hosts.

Installation

Clone and cd into the repo, then:

npm install
npm link .

This will make the buttons-client command available globally.

Use

Run the client using the host -h, button -b and command -e required flags. For example, this will connect to myhost:7788, listen for presses to button a and run say 'button pressed' when the button is pressed:

buttons-client -h myhost:7789 -b a -e "say 'button pressed'"
