Use Sentiment Analysis to Determine Good News or Bad News
We’re getting major crystal ball vibes from
pollux labs’s project on Hackster.io:
In this project, you use an ESP32 to download current headlines from the Internet and use a sentiment analysis to find out whether they are positive or negative. A NeoPixel LED ring then shows you whether the news situation is good (green), bad (red) or something in between.
We assume that you are familiar with some basics and already know how to program an ESP32 with the Arduino IDE and connect it to the internet. You should also be familiar with the ArduinoJson library and know how to use a NeoPixel LED ring.
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.
