Scope it Out: a Venue Monitoring System

Scope it Out

Tessel responds to twitter messages to scope out your venue of choice! The tessel will constantly relay pictures and ambient from a location to a node server. This node server is set up to respond to twitter mentions, using natural language processing. The twitter bot will tweet back with the requested information.

You need:

1. A twitter application API key
2. Tessel
3. Ambient Module
4. Camera Module

To Use:

1. Clone this repo
2. npm install
3. Input your 4 twitter api keys into the index.js file
4. Connect modules to tessel.
5. Plug in tessel via USB.
6. Run index.js with node in your terminal from the project's root directory.
7. Send tweets to your user handle to have the program respond!

Future Goals:

1. Implement temperature module to track current temperature
2. Use bluetooth/wifi modules to track number of devices in the area as proxy for how crowded an area is.
