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.
Somewhere, Rube Goldberg is smiling. The “Smart Star” project links together many technologies and produces a very nice result. [Martin] created a “Smart Star” that animates and changes color based on the latest CheerLights color on Twitter. He wrote a Twitter API Stream Listener in Node.js that forwards and parses Tweets, publishes them to an MQTT Broker, where an Arduino + Wifly shield is subscribed and controlling three separate rope lights that form the star.
