By Alex Eames http://RasPi.TV

These are the scripts from the "Build a Twitter App on the Rapberry Pi" series published at... http://raspi.tv/?p=5281

The index for the full series of blog articles can be found here... http://raspi.tv/raspitweets

Preparation

Before you can use these scripts you will have to set up an app on your twitter account and you will also need to install python tweepy.

Instructions for both of those are found in the first article in the blog series... http://raspi.tv/?p=5281

Setting up an app is not hard, but there are several steps. The blog article shows how to do it with lots of screenshots.

You will need to copy and paste your keys and secrets (4 of them) into each script before it will work with your twitter account.

Contents

With these scripts you should be able to...

twitterwin.py - pick a random winner from your followers

tweet.py - send a text tweet

tweet2.py - tweet system information from your Pi
