This is a quick-and-dirty demonstration package for the Comitup service. When the comitup-demo service is started (automatically, at boot), it will clear out any NetworkManager connections, and restart NetworkManager and Comitup. It will then announce, using a synthesized voice via an attached speaker, whenever the following events occur:

• A new user connected to the comitup Access point ("AP")
• A new user accessed a comitup-web page ("web")
• The Internet-facing wifi node is connected ("Successful connection")

Once connected, a web service is started that will allow the person who initiated the successful connection to enter their name, which is then announced.

The demo requires the following:

• A Raspberry Pi 3, or Zero-W (or newer Pi), with an additional USB wifi adapter (the second adapter is a requirement of the demo, not Comitup, and the use of a wireless-enabled Pi avoids AP-mode compatibility problems)

• The following packages must be installed:

  • comitup
  • festival

• A speaker connected to the Pi audio port

Run install.sh, and set the web_service parameter in /etc/comitup.conf to demoweb.service.

Please note that this package is somewhat invasive. It rewrites the Comitup comitup_web configuration variable on installation, and wipes known NetworkManager Wifi connections on startup.
