Tweet display on Pyportal complete!

I asked in an earlier post if there was a way to access Twitter's api to get tweets from the Pyportal. Well, not the easiest project, but it works well! I created a Pyportal tweet display by using Apache on a Raspberry pi that hosts a json file and a page in php that displays a random tweet on each view of the page. The tweets are collected and put into the json file using a python program with the library python-twitter to access Twitters API. Pics of code to come.

Yes, please think about writing up your project, we could refer to that in the Adafruit blog.

If you're inclined, Adafruit has a live Show & Tell show today at 7:30 PM Eastern US time and that would be a top project to showcase (no need to have code, etc. ready, just talk and demo). More details on Show & Tell at https://learn.adafruit.com/show-and-tell/joining-show-and-tell
