Go!Tweet
Free software makes it easy to access Vernier sensor data anywhere!
What is Go!Tweet?
Go!Tweet is an experimental application that allows students and teachers to publish data from Vernier sensors to the internet for easy access from any device that can access Twitter.
Connect one of Vernier’s many supported analog sensors to your computer’s USB port, open Go!Tweet, and your data will be on the web in minutes.
Go!Tweet does not create calculated columns or analyze data as Logger Pro 3 and our other programs do. It simply reports the basic calibrated sensor value to Twitter at a specified interval. You can set Go!Tweet to only report values above, below or equal to a pre-set value. You can customize the text of the tweet.
Ideas for Go!Tweet
- Need to know when to water your plant? Set up a Go!Link, Vernier Soil Moisture Sensor, and Go!Tweet to send automatic tweets when the soil needs water.
- Students can check the temperature or pH of a classroom aquarium by monitoring the Twitter feed of the sensor’s output.
