Reco was written to be modular so one can easily modify the code and enhance it. I welcome and greatly appreciate anyone who wishes to contribute a module of their own. Here's how to create a Reco module:

  1. Create your *_module.py under the modules directory. See lock_module.py for a good example on how to structure yours.
  2. Create an entry for your modules in reco.pyw. The file is full of examples.
  3. Test Reco PC Server with your changes and make a pull request if everything works well.
  4. Update the README.md file to include your new module and your github profile under Contributors
