TwDoor - Twitter

I use Twitter4J library for my sketch. It can let Processing(JAVA) work with Twitter.
“Processing code is converted to straight Java code (using the “preprocessor”) “
—-Processing Wiki Page
It’s a very useful library and can be obtained easily online, and there are many examples there.

TwDoor - List

Materials

• Arduino UNO
• Breadboard
• 8x8 LED Matrix
• 1K ohm Resistor x8
• Reed Switch

• 9v battery
• 9v to Barrel Jack Adapter

• RN-42 Bluetooth Mod(Canceled)

Tools

• Soldering iron
• A Computer(MAC or PC)
• Arduino development environment
• Processing development environment
• Twitter.com

This project was mainly done as an excuse to use Arduino+Processing (networking) to update my twitter with  Reed Magnet Switch (install on the door), and find out how to use the Arduino to facilitate real hardware and social internet networking link together.

The Reed Switch was bought from MAPLIN-Edinburgh.I used Soldering iron to attach it to the wire so that it could work with my Arduino.

About the LED Matrix I saw some video from Youtube, people use it to make a variety of display effects, so I decided to use it  for this project’s display part.

TwDoor - Bluetooth

I take 20pounds for this one. But it was damaged by me. T_T

TwDoor - Arduino exercise

In the practical class, I began study Arduino. This my first time to contact the knowledge about arduino. When I came back my flat, I order a Arduino Kit from Frirzing. My Arduino life started.

I bought a StarterKit with Arduino UNO from Frirzing.  This kit contains many helpful components and a completely transparent Project box. However, the  wire is very difficult to link together, so some Jumpwire from Ebay was used instead.

TwDoor - Processing Study

This a very helpful book. I got a lot information about the Processing. 

Esp, It tell me how to using Processing work with the Internet.  

TwDoor - My Coursework Project

In the second tutorial class, I expressed my ideas about possibly monitoring the door lock with arduino .But I had a lot of problems about this project.

So, I started the project to look for ways to solve these problems.

My Arduino project done

I will update the blog ,when I finished my presentation
