Poll: Why Have You Not Bought a VHS Membership Card?

[funvill]

I have the RFID reader working with a ESP (wireless) and the VHS Membership cards.

Currently the prototype on my desk, checks the cards against Nomos (members management system) to see if the members card is valid and what permissions they have, then flips a GPIO pin accordingly. First project is to do the inside door, then asset control (laser cutter, lathe, etc…)

There will always be a non-card way to enter the space, access the tools, etc… Having the card access control will not prevent people who do not have a membership card from using the tools.

I was waiting until the Nomos Hackathon before installing it.

Nomos Hackathon - Saturday, Feb 20th

I’m putting another hackathon on the calendar for the 20th. I’ll be there starting at 11am, and @laftho is usually there a little earlier. We’ll be working on Nomos, our membership software - You all use it to enter the building! Crushing bugs, adding features, and discussing philosophy - It’s always a lot of fun. Everyone is welcome, and we’ll be able to play nice with the 3D printer people. The software is built on AngularJS and PHP - experience in those is nice, but not required. Please r…

I also have a game set up that uses ANY RFID card (including the VHS membership cards, or compass cards) that you can play while at VHS.
