Is someone in the warehouse bathroom? @ZaiDivecha and @ckwilcox built a machine that tweets the status of the upstairs shower. We’re using the #makeymakey kit to make this happen
Here are a few of the status tweets:
@WarehouseShower: OCCUPIED: Hey I just met you / and this is crazy / but the bathroom’s busy / so chill out, maybe?
@WarehouseShower: VACANT: Go time.
@WarehouseShower: {‘VACANT’: ‘So fresh and so clean.’}
@WarehouseShower: You’re up.
@WarehouseShower: Take Simi for a walk, and by the time you get back, it’ll be your turn.
@WarehouseShower: I’ve got 99 problems but a busy bathroom ain’t one.
@WarehouseShower: The bathroom has been un-occupied.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
