An object that tweets.

Well, for this assignment I really had a block. I din’t know what to tweet from my arduino so I… Well… I set up a simple button which completes a circuit telling my arduino to send a serial message which processing reads and thenuses to run my temboo choreo. I updated my choreo to take any string and tweet it. I then created a list of words to explain my project. I apologize for the sorry nature of it, truly.

A messy image of a simple button.

Here’s a fritzing diagram.

My Twitter Feed.

My Arduino Code.

int digPort = 8;
int buttonPushed = 0;
int buttonDown = 0;
int count = 0;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(digPort, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
    buttonPushed = digitalRead(digPort);
    
    if (buttonPushed == HIGH && buttonDown == 0) {
      Serial.println("A");
      Serial.println(count);
      buttonDown = 1;
      count += 1;
    } else if (buttonPushed == LOW && buttonDown == 1) {
      buttonDown = 0;
    }
    delay(100);

}
