Sensor Tweets and Twitter
This was a little program that i hacked together before going to the Twitter Fest in Galway in January , Just something fun to have to do for the evening. What it is;It’s a SUN JAVA SunSpot Modular Wireless Sensor device that has a stackable components for developing various different applications around sensors.. You’ve got USB and wireless connectivity, temperature and humidity.3D Accelerometer, thri-colour LED’s that can be combined with the accelerometer data to display a spinning text as a wave.
In this little example, a J2ME applet is running fetching the latest Twitter post from Ina feed and displaying them as I wave the device back and forth. It’s not so clear because of the camera and light but you can make out the laters moving by as the device push a 140 character string of text to the array of LED’s The time it takes for your brain to peace together the flashing LED’s helps to make it display the full characters in the air!
