Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v0.2.0

Published

control your Sphero, BB-8 or Ollie from Twitter

Readme

sphero-twitter NPM version

Control your smart Robots with twitter.

Installation

$ npm install ollie-twitter

You need to get your Twitter API keys. (Guide to get them) After you get all the 4 keys, copy-n-paste them in twitter.credit file (create it if it doesn't exist) in JSON like this:

{
	"conKey": "",
	"conSec": "", 
	"accKey": "", 
	"accSec": ""
 }

If you are controlling an Ollie or a BB-8, and if you want to use without sudo, then follow this link.

You can change which hashtag sphero is listening by passing ´´´.start(str)´´´ method of sphero-twitter a different hashtag in app.js file.

Usage

$ node app.js

##Syntax

The language I used in parsing tweets is tiLang, look at there for syntax.

####Built-in Functions

You can use every function defined here, here and here.

In addition to them there are shortcut functions for most-used functions (Twitter 140 char limit) and some helper functions.

######Helper Functions

  • connect|UUID Connects to Ollie/Sphero/BB-8. If already connected, does nothing.

  • delay|seconds Waits before running next command.

######Shortcuts

  • dly|seconds => delay|seconds
  • c|red => color|red
  • r|255|0 => roll|255|0
  • sp|lt|255 => (Spin, Doesn't exist, this is a helper for setRawMotors)
  • rwM|lmode|rmode|lpower|rpower =/=> setRawMotors|{lmode:lmode,rmode:rmode,lpower:lpower,rpower:rpower} (Objects cannot be parsed yet remember?)
