CheerLights on Lifehacker

Posted on December 7, 2011October 28, 2026 By Hans Scharler No Comments on CheerLights on Lifehacker

The CheerLights color is now set on Discord. This post is from when anyone could tweet a color to CheerLights. Today, use the /cheerlights command on the CheerLights Discord, and see the Learn page for the current API.

Technologist and Lifehacker writer, Alan Henry, wrote a great post about building your own CheerLights as a way to get started with Arduino and electronics.
“Here’s a great seasonal activity that will help you build your skills and join your house’s holiday light display to a global network of lights, all synchronized and controlled by Twitter.”
You can read the rest of Alan’s article on Lifehacker.
