This script watches a Slack channel and posts the most recent message to a scrolling Betabrite LED sign until terminated. If the most recent message contains a Hashtag, it searches Twitter and posts the most recent Twitter post matching that Hashtag on a specified interval or until another message in the Slack channel is posted. Run it in a Cron job on a Raspberry Pi for zero maintenance and place it anywhere! Big thanks to Abraham Williams for the twitteroauth scripts!
