Question

hi, i am modifying my brookstone rover so i can tell siri to sweep the floor. i have set up a twitter account with my phone attached so siri can send tweets. my question is how do i make the tweets control the rover to do a series of commands.

That would be neat. You would have to decode the twitter feed. Here is a link that might help you: https://seo-alien.com/tips-and-tricks/find-twitter-rss-feed

I read the link and I am kinda lost. Also I have an arduino UNO and a wifi shield Does that help by any chance. I stumbled upon someone else who did this to a normal RC car Here is a link redpepperland.tumblr.com/post/11730859389/have-siri-pour-you-a-beer

@ttravis2947 sorry, i don't know how you'd do that with an Arduino. This is a forum for EZ-Robot and the EZ-B. However, if you have an EZ-B, you can download and ARC. Under the menu Add Control->Misc->Twitter Recognition is the ability to what you desire. You can add the Twitter Recognition control. And any custom commands you send to the twitter account can be executed by your robot. Twitter only lets you query the server a max of 150 times per hour, which is min 30 seconds. So your EZ-Robot will execute twitter commands every 30 seconds.

ok thanks a lot one more question. how do i get the twitter feed poll to connect to the rovers wifi

DJ Sures · Answer

You would require two wifi connections on your PC. One to the rover, and one to the internet for twitter
