Inspiration
Now days, people stare at their phones too much. We wanted a way to decrease phone usage.
What it does
The Smart Lite can read messages from various mediums. It will then process the text with sentiment analysis to generate a positivity coefficient. Then, it uses an algorithm to process the coefficient into a color of light.
How I built it
We used various languages, api's, and hardware to build the Smart Lite. Twitter -> Python -> Indico -> Serial -> Arduino -> Neopixel
Challenges I ran into
Use python to make arduino read serial data. Use twitter api.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Cross language integration.
What I learned
We learned every language, api, and hardware from scratch.
What's next for Smart Lite
Turning the Smart Lite into a real product that can be used by consumers.
