central_hub

1. About

This repository contains the script that will be ran on the central hub. The main function of the central hub includes:

• Adding peripheral devices to the network
• Collecting distance measurements from the peripheral
• Sending collected data to the database

2. Setup

To set up the central hub dependencies and run within a virtualenv, run these commands:

• "pip3 install virtualenv"
• "virtualenv <env>"
• "source ./<env>/bin/activate"
• "pip install -r requirements.txt"

If you don't want to run in a virtualenv, just run the last command to install the requirements.

Next, download the Google Cloud Project authentication file. To set the authentication file, use the following command:

• "export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="~/<auth_json>"

Now, you will be able to run the script.
