Here are the steps for building your very own Tweet Monkey...
- Buy the stuff
- Modify the monkey
- Complete the circuit
- Prep your Raspberry Pi
- Sign up to use the Twitter API
- Write the code
- Deploy and run the program
So there you have it - a simple, end-to-end Tweet Monkey! Just what everyone needs.
I hope you have fun with the monkey specifically, but more importantly, I hope you're just a little bit more comfortable hooking into an existing electronic circuit and using logic from a program you wrote to manipulate it. When you get the concepts behind the procedures, you really start to see the possibilities, and that is the heart of the maker movement.
