Stranger Things Wall project
2+
============================
3+
4+
Send your own messages from the upside down with this creepy project!
5+
6+
Using [individually addressable LEDs](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12986),
7+
we've recreated Joyce's Christmas light message board from the Netflix original
8+
series "Stranger Things". In this repository, you'll find the code necessary to
9+
enable a string of LEDs to capture and display tweets.
10+
11+
You'll need some kind of Arduino to communicate with the LEDs (we used a
12+
[Pro Mini](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11113) and some kind of PC that
13+
can run Python (we used a [pcDuino3](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12856)
14+
because of its built in WiFi and native Python support, and because we had one
15+
lying around unused, but any internet enabled SBC should work).
16+
17+
The Arduino code was written in the Arduino.cc IDE v1.6.9, and the Python code
18+
is running under Python 2.7.3. You'll need the Adafruit Neopixel library, which
19+
can be found in the Library Manager inside the Arduino IDE, and
20+
[TwitterSearch](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/TwitterSearch/) Python library,
21+
which can be easily installed via pip.
22+
23+
Additionally, you'll have to create your own "credentials.py" file with your
24+
Twitter application credential details; see
25+
[apps.twitter.com](apps.twitter.com) for more information on doing just that.
26+
27+
Have fun, and if you make your own version, please send us pictures!
