Tweetea - Arduino and Twitter Tea Robut!

[studentofsociety]

I am "tech dumb" when it comes to programs like this, but Im trying to use this basic idea for a community art piece. I have one question that Im hoping you can help me with though. I am just wondering if the program is reading/scanning for the message sent from your phone to the Twitter account or searching the Twitter server for tweets sent from that account. I am trying to set it up so that when individuals of a community mention a Twitter handle and a specific "phrase" the device turns on

@studentofsociety i ran a script that searched twitter for the hashtag every 30 seconds, and when it came up with a new result it would send that to the device.

The link is 404'd Can you post the code somewhere?

[LEETLANDON]

There's a servo under the clear plastic brewer thats attached to the silver coffee can. It just pushes up on the brewer which makes it pour out the bottom.

@LEETLANDON you might be able to use a laser pointer and a photo resistor

how do you open the second container with the tea inside after 7 minutes? i dont see a servo

[lennart0106]

i wonder whether the opening of the middle of the tea maker at 4:31 is controlled by Arduino, too.

[lennart0106]

but it won't cook if I tweet the hashtag?

[LEETLANDON]

@lennart0106 No, the way I had it working was to search for my username and the hashtags, and if someone new comes up it'll make tea.

I'm going to probably make a new one using an ethernet shield, and i'll post all the code somewhere for people to look through

did you really take the top off of a coffee maker? wow.....

[01Carmaster]

is there a way to make it work without twitter

[mdglussier]

I'm trying to find the PERL script, no dice... any chance you have it on file? MCQN doesn't seem to have it linked on his blog post, unless I'm blind.

[kaiztea]

Cool idea.

[nrm4life]

Tea.. the most important thing in the world

[rabbitsib]

I wonder why you would do this when you can buy a device like this that is connected to the net. But hey, it is fun to make things

[LEETLANDON]

Do you know where I can buy one? I'd like to see what you mean.

[fewlio]

I dunno why you'd buy it when you can build it

ew, ngage
