---

Parts used:

• Tessel 2
  
• Ambient module
  
• Relay module
  

NPM Software modules used:

• node-static - simple web server to demonstrate project
• os - used to get the server IP address and return it to a client
• tessel - cannot live without it ;)
• ambient-attx4 - lets you read and act upon sound and light levels
• relay-mono - try turning on a rotating light/etc.
• tessel-toggle-power - toggles a relay module, or specified pin (wire up your own relay and trigger it)

Instructions

1. Plug your Ambient module into port A
2. Plug your Relay module into port B
   Then wire something to the relay channel 1 or 2 (or both)
   Alternately you could toggle pins as mentioned above
3. t2 list to make sure your Tessel is connected, then run t2 run app.js
4. Your T2 app will noisily output console logs (notice DEBUG = true)
5. Shine your cell phone light onto the relay, then experiment with the trigger-level

So now the question is, what else can you do with this?! :)
