 We wanted a way for students to be able to leave audio (and possibly video) messages for professors when they are out of their office. Using a BeagleBoard Bone, we plan to connect a wireless USB device and a PlayStation Eye to achieve this. Students will be able to walk up to the device and press a button to record their message which will then be available for the professor.
-At this time, we are able to successfully capture audio while a user presses and holds a button. Once the button is released, there is a python script that will encod the recording into a mp3 file and send it via an email attachment to a predetermined email address.  We have also developed a web interface that will allow a user to change the preferences for what email account to use, who to send the email message too, as well as what text to populate the subject and body field with.

 The wireless usb adapter does not work at this time.  We are still trying to get recompile the kernel to install and enable the driver for this wireless adapter.

-Overall, we currently have a working version of the Beagle VNS.  There are two separate parts to the project.  The Beagle C-Program records the audio and sends an email with an mp3 attachment.  There is also a web interface which will allow a user to change the default sender and recipient email address.  Some cool additions the the project would be to be able to take an video and audio message, as well as incorporate a wireless driver.

 ::No other installation is required.  The application developed is available on a git repository. The python script does not need any additional packages, and the javascript libraries are also located in the repository.

-Overall we have a functioning project that consist of a C program, python script, bash script, and nodejs webserver.  The C program controls how the audio is recorded.  The python script controls sending emails with attachments.  The bash script is in charge of moving the audio file, converting it to mp3, and firing the python script.  The nodejs server controlls the preference file for the python script.
