i3West Update

Nate B.-Door system is coming right alone, Joe took over assembling them. Everything looks good so far. I got the card keys and readers last week, everything works great. What we would like is someone who is better at programming to program it. The program example doesn’t fit the way we operate. It's all arduino.


Roger- I can help with that.


Nate B. - we need help with the key box. It is very narrow. The landlord agreed to the manual key.

Dustin W. - Is Saturday good?


Roger- is moving the trailer contingent on when he gets the doors on?
