repo for the hardware chat for the demo prototype Punk Prism Power. Connects 2 BLE beans using seperate terminal window processes to a chat client to talk to Unity.

Follow the instructions on how to get the LightBlue Bean up and running: https://punchthrough.com/bean/getting-started-osx/ </br />

Download and install node: https://nodejs.org/download/
Download and install noble: https://www.npmjs.com/package/noble
Download and install ble-bean: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ble-bean

Navigate to the folder where the scripts are kept...

1. Run: node tcpserver.js (this will start the chat server) in one terminal window
   
2. Launch a new terminal tab (apple + t) and run: findPlayers2.js (node findPlayers.js)
   --> You should now have 2 terminal windows running. 1 server and one client process
   --> To test server, you can also telnet into your host and port
   
3. On the unity side: Make sure you have the socketScript.cs and TCPConnection.cs running
   
4. Run unity and click connect to server.
   --> You should see a broadcast message when each client connects.

There is some extra TCP Garble coming through that I can't currently figure out. You'll have to write a filter on the other side.
