Hooking up my Botanicalls to Uladoo.com

[dchris17]

Uladoo.com turns tweets into charts using a simple protocol, like this “@uladoo plant 45 Water me”. That tweet will create a chart called plant (if there isn’t one yet) and set its initial value to 45. If I tweet again, it will add the new value to the chart. The chart would be located at uladoo.com/USERNAME where USERNAME is my plants twitter ID.

So, I just got my botanicalls kit today and I’m excited to get it working and hooked up to uladoo. I’ll post my progress here, and if anyone has any suggestions for getting started with programming in arduino let me know.

BTW, where’s the best place to get the caple I need to upload code to my botanicalls?

Thanks!

Adafruit sells FTDI cables.

Cool. Thanks Rob – I ordered one today.

I just finished building my Botanicalls and when I test it I get 5 blinks. What does that mean?
