#Motivation

We got a intercom system at our new office, but everytime a customer or colleague wants to come in, someone has to stand up and hurry to the opening button. To conquer this problem we used a [Raspberry Pi](http://www.raspberrypi.org/) with an [Apache2 Webserver](http://httpd.apache.org/) and a little servo.

#Setup

##Raspberry Pi  

At first of all we had to get the Pi to boot up, you can find a good tutorial [here](http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup/)

After the first boot we installed apache2  

     sudo apt-get install apache2

Next copy all the files from this repo into the 'www' folder of apache, in our setup it was  

     /var/www/

After that you should see the door opening website if you open up your browser and type in the IP of your raspberry in your network, for example  

     http://192.168.0.10/

##Pinout  

* Servo:

	* Power - Pin 2

	* Ground - Pin 6

	* Signal - Pin 12  

  

* Led:

	* ***Don't forget a resistor (470 Ohm) between Ground and Cathode!***

	* Cathode - Pin 6

	* Anode: - Pin 22  

##How it works

* Apache is used to have a graphical interface programmed in HTML

* In this index.html is a simple button which triggers a javascript (jquery) clickevent

* The javascript function loads a PHP-Script (scripts/open.php)

* open.php executes a Python-Script (scripts/servo.py) which turns the servo and pressed the door opening button
