Stranger Things Wall project | ||
============================ | ||
|
||
Send your own messages from the upside down with this creepy project! | ||
|
||
Using [individually addressable LEDs](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12986), | ||
we've recreated Joyce's Christmas light message board from the Netflix original | ||
series "Stranger Things". In this repository, you'll find the code necessary to | ||
enable a string of LEDs to capture and display tweets. | ||
|
||
You'll need some kind of Arduino to communicate with the LEDs (we used a | ||
[Pro Mini](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11113) and some kind of PC that | ||
can run Python (we used a [pcDuino3](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12856) | ||
because of its built in WiFi and native Python support, and because we had one | ||
lying around unused, but any internet enabled SBC should work). | ||
|
||
The Arduino code was written in the Arduino.cc IDE v1.6.9, and the Python code | ||
is running under Python 2.7.3. You'll need the Adafruit Neopixel library, which | ||
can be found in the Library Manager inside the Arduino IDE, and | ||
[TwitterSearch](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/TwitterSearch/) Python library, | ||
which can be easily installed via pip. | ||
|
||
Additionally, you'll have to create your own "credentials.py" file with your | ||
Twitter application credential details; see | ||
[apps.twitter.com](apps.twitter.com) for more information on doing just that. | ||
|
||
Have fun, and if you make your own version, please send us pictures! | ||
