Twitter Torch - Twitter messages in a glass tube

Well done Hassan, it feels good doesn’t it. To finally get it working. Yours looks very nice and polished.

I love the idea for the temperature readout. That could be combined with changing the colour of the LED’s to reflect the temperature of the room. Blue for cold etc.Or even get the temperature from a weather forecast. The forecast torch is born!!

For the time, you don’t need to buy a RTC module. The spark core can get the time from the cloud. Have a look at :-

I am trying to get that function to display the time on my torch but my coding skills are limited. I have a lot of catching up to do.

There is another thread that is about making an alarm clock with "sunrise"led’s

Have a look.

Once again, good effort & enjoy your torch.
