Twitter Split-Flap Display

Just press Play.

In this show, a Twitter search is run on a hashtag and a old-timey split-flap display is updated with the search results.

Learn more about the nifty split-flap display at its wiki:

You can change the Twitter search term (currently set to "#love") by looking inside the script of the "Solari Board Update Pulse" that lives under OpenSpace/Pulses.

Note that because it's pulling from Twitter and its public data, there might be some sketchy stuff shown on the board so be warned. Also, currently this demo is using shared Twitter credentials and thus can only poll Twitter once a minute. You can speed up the interval by using your own Twitter login credentials. See the script inside the "TwitterServer" Pulse in the Universe for more info.
