Temboo and Twitter
Having already constructed a vision for my final, I used project 11 to play around and test some of the available components I will be using for my final. As a result I attempted to make a program that would tweet depending on whether or not a force resistor was pressed. I learned how to make arrays and how to store strings in them, and then created a list of a few things that I wanted the computer to tweet. After that I tested it by creating a interface on processing that changed the words depending on if you pressed the resistor or not. When I was finished with that I simply linked it to twitter instead of the interface. As I was testing it somehow, I ended up using all of my available data for Temboo. Luckily that data resets every month so for my final project I will test it simply using processing until my Temboo data limit refreshes. Below are some images of the tweets sent by the force resistor as well as the initial project to send a tweet just from Temboo’s processing code.
Tweeting through my aurdino and force resistor
As the values increase (as you press the resistor) it scrolls through the list of phrases to potentially say.
When you let go the visible phrase changes to the last one you stopped at. Once you hold the resistor down again the process continues.
The results can be seen on the screen and, as I programmed it to, as a tweet.
My code can be seen down below.

Aurdino Code:
// This Arduino program reads signals,
// such as from the force resistor
int sensorValue1 = 0; // variable to store the value coming from the other sensor
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // initialize serial communications
}
void loop() {
// Read the value from the sensor
sensorValue1 = analogRead (A1); // reads value from Analog input 1
Serial.print ("A");
Serial.println (sensorValue1);
delay (50); // wait a fraction of a second, to be polite
}

Earlier
For my initial test on using twitter (before making this program), I had processing tweet, “Well did it work?”.
