loldialer is a project devised by David Huerta at HeatSync Labs to create a means to troll people's phones with Arduino, Ruby, and Twilio. All this in a sexy laser-cut interface.
NOTE: This is a weapon of mass-trolling. Like all technology, it is a tool that is only as good or evil or Beyond Good and Evil as the person using it.
- Plug in, dial a number
- Enter the single-digit ID for the sound clip you picked
- ???
- PROFIT!!!
You must have Ruby 1.8.7 or above installed on a working web server, and also gems and the twiliolib* gem. You must also provide the sound clips in the lulz directory.
Arduino 1.0+ compatible. Plz2upgrade if you're using older stuff.
Configure your MAC address in loldialer.ino to match your own ethernet shield/board.
Hardware required and links to purchase said hardware can be found on the HeatSync Labs wiki: http://wiki.heatsynclabs.org/wiki/Loldialer
Voice APIs supported include Twilio and Tropo. You can choose which one to use in loldialer.ino. Internet-accessible TwiML files (or using twiml.cgi when if someone gets it to work) are required for Twilio use. The tropo_handler.rb script is required for Tropo use and must be internet-accessible or set up as a hosted file in your Tropo dashboard.
* Only required if using Twilio.
