1. BakerTweet
2 years ago
Everyone knows the best time to get your baked goods is when they're fresh out the oven. So we figured that this could be a killer use of Twitter. Letting followers know that fresh goodies are ready right now. But bakeries don't want laptops or phones lying around in the kitchen. Flour, eggs and technology don't mix so well.

So we built BakerTweet.

It's a bespoke piece of hardware (with Arduino-based guts) that allows our friends at Albion across the road to select what's just been baked and ping the relevant Twitter message to local customers. Meaning that you can time your trips to Albion to pick up the freshest freshness.

    Does anyone know what WiFi unit is used in this project?
  • POKE 2 years ago
    We used a linksys gaming adapter that simply plugged into an arduino ethernet shield. Future boxes will feature an integrated wifi component though, more to come soon we hope.

    Very cool idea. Kind of 2.0 version of the Krispy Kreme light.
