  • a Node.js server that should run on your computer
  • a Browser client to monitor and control your fleet of devices
  • a Node.js client that runs on the RPi and that is automatically installed by the dotpi-install tool.

INFO

Do not plug headphones to the Raspberry Pi before the following test.

Now if you click the check-sound bang (on the right-hand side of the RPI status in your manager), you should hear a full volume short white noise coming out of the mini jack output of your RPI.
