python3 main.py --help
A default tune is included with the project. Additional tunes can be configured by creating a file and loading it with the --tune argument.
A tune file contains lines with float values on each line. Each value represents a duration for either a buzzer sound or a sleep. The first line is a sound duration, the second is a sleep duration, and so on.
If running with default settings, the program can be easily launched with:
./launch.sh
Manual execution can be achieved with:
python3 main.py
