Twitter Connector
by Nearbus
Overview
This project consists of an Internet configurable clock that sends ON / OFF messages through Twitter to the NearBus connector. The NearBus connector forwards these messages to the Arduino Ethernet board (through Internet) who Turns On and Turns Off a power switch allowing in this way to control the light sequence form any place with a simple browser.
Note: It is important to remark that Twitter in contrast to its traditional use (as message platform) in this case is used as a "text transport channel" to carry the pseudo RESTful string (like to the http protocol).
Component
To implement this project you will need:
