#twiscn

Looks like I actually finished something on time for once. :'D

Everything works as expected so far, just need to get it all packed up and ready for air travel. All I need to do now is make some documents for the TSA, in case they don't like what they see in the xray machines. :c

Once I get back from my trip, I'll finish setting up my second TwiScn so I can get more documentation up on here.

First time designing an actual GUI, hopefully it isn't too unintuitive. :'D

After about two weeks of almost non-stop coding, I am finally at the point (again?) where I have something to show that works. Since the last post I made here, I have rewritten all the code for this project, added many new features, and got the project up to a working state. You can find my Github account here to see pretty much every single thing I did software-wise.

In this video I'm demonstrating connecting the device to the computer, having it get the latest tweet, and then displaying new tweets as they are posted. Behind the scenes though, it's doing even more things like applying settings read from a config file, watching for button presses, and managing Twitter communications. I apologize for the clicking sound in the background of the video. The autofocus may have taken a beating when my mom dropped this camera. :'c

Even though everything is in a working state, there are some things that still need to be completed:

Adding notification functionality to the device (when the text scrolling is paused, when rainbow mode is activated, etc)

Error logging

Making a GUI for the host program

Extensive bug testing/fixing

Some other things that I know I have missed

If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to ask me them here. c:
