## Dice code for the idea machine

This C project can be used with platform.io & VSCode. Alternatively, you can install the dependencies manually and only copy the `main.cpp` file into the arduino IDE (rename to `main.ino`)

### What it does

We used Heltec ESP32 Lora boards and ESP32 NodeMCU Development boards. 

When successfully connected, the board will measure acceleration via the MPU6050 board and send a value to the server. 

The value would be the side of the cube facing up (1,2,3,4,5 or 6), e.g. `3`, `2`.

Rename the `condig-example.h` file to `config.h` and adjust the values to your setup:

````

const char name[] = "esp32";

````

### Bluetooth Setup:

1. You need to pair the board with the raspberry pi.

2. Check if `bluetoothctl` is installed on the pi. If not, install it.

3. Install `picocom` on the pi:

```shell

sudo apt-get install picocom

```

4. bind the esp32 to a serial port on the raspberry pi (needs to be done every time the pi is restarted):

```shell

sudo rfcomm bind rfcomm0 

```

5. You can then run the following command on the raspberry pi to receive the data from the board:

```shell

picocom /dev/rfcomm0 -b 115200

```
