| 2 | +============================ |

| 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! |
