This hack makes use of an old Christmas Jumper, the Raspberry Zero, some cheap LEDs and a bit of Python code to bring you a Interactive Social Media Crimbo Jumper.  Tweet "@PiTests ON" and the code kicks in.  It triggers the lights on the jumper to turn on and the lights show begins. So now all Twitter users can bring a little bit of Christmas cheer and engage the lights on the Jumper.  To thank you for your efforts the "Light Bot" will send you a confirmation message via your tweeter feed. You will receive a notification that you turned on the Christmas Light Jumper including the time of your interaction.  Happy Christmas

Tweet @PiTests ON to trigger the Jumper

Pi Zero

The hack makes use of the PiZero as it is small and can be easily hidden in a pocket or sown into the jumper itself.

Battery

The project is powered by a portable "emergency" mobile phone battery which is compact and provides around 5 hours of charge.
