Raspberry Pi systems that communicate with Spotlight Wearables for tracking user's experiences through a museum

Description:

A spotlight exhibit is a Node.js application you can run on any compatible device such as a laptop, desktop or microcomputer that will act as an exhibit station in the Spotlight museum experience. Each exhibit can be fine-tuned and tweaked for performance based on the environment of the museum so guest's experiences are just right.

To get up and running with a Spotlight exhibit, clone this repo on the device you want to use and install the required node modules:

git clone https://github.com/jordankid93/spotlight-exhibit.git
cd spotlight-exhibit
npm install

Once modules have been installed, edit the config.js file so that the exhibit is making the appropriate calls with the backend.
