Twitter notifier, using websockets and pusher cloud service

[Gus_Issa]

http://automagical.ly/ shared this useful project with us.

This projects uses Automagical.ly to send tweet events from Twitter to Pusher. Pusher then sends them to a Fez Cobra board. The board flicks a relay which flashes a light. This way the light flashes any time someone tweets a specific keyword. Automagical.ly lets you wire up a bunch of applications with your micro controller, via pusher’s websocket service.

Thanks to the standard .NET socket implementation on .NET Micro Framework (NETMF), building services is easily possible. Even better, any .NET code, even the one made for desktops originally, should run on these device with little or no changes. This demo uses FEZ Cobra, which hosts EMX System on Module. As this project uses standardized .NET coding, the project will run on any other NETMF device, such as G120 System on Module.
