+# libraries
+- needs the keyboard library i wrote for the cardputer
+- other libraries should be findable in the circuitpy bundle :)
+
+# other dependencies
+- relies on there being a `barcodes` folder on the cardputer itself, with a barcode named `RT17.bmp` and another named `HERA.bmp`
+
+# notes
+- rt scanner can't scan barcodes from this screen
+- the downtime log isn't fully finished
+- is a good code base for a probably impractical reach truck task helper :P
