Does whatever a spider can… Spiderman Twitter monitor using a Raspberry Pi

Maker and Educator Spencer Organ has recently re-launched his website and can now be found at www.themakercupboard.space. As part of the re-launch, he’s blogged about his latest project – a Spiderman-themed lamp which changes colour when he is mentioned in a Tweet. He’s used the Pimoroni Blinkt for illumination (also available here) and the Twython Python library to communicate with Twitter. Everything’s connected to a Raspberry Pi Zero W for connectivity. A very nice project that shows what you can do with a little bit of programming and some know-how. Take a look at the code and build details here.
