Processing + Arduino + Twitter + OAuth WARNING: There’s a newer version of this code here: “Simple Processing Twitter”! People who devise these spectacular security protocols and stuff really make it complicated to communicate to cool social networking sites. Yesterday I got carried away and ended up making a Processing sketch that could successfully connect to Twitter through its OAuth method. This is primarily for a project where Tweets are read, sent into Processing, which are then sent to the Arduino, which then broadcasts the message through its Xbee, and then the other robots pick up on the message. If the message is addressed to them, then they will parse it and do what it says. Click to download ToArduinoAndTwitter v02 pde 1. Here is a screenshot of the settings that I used: 2. twitter.setOAuthConsumer("***", "***"); // consumer key, consumer secret 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. String token ="***";// load from a persistent storeString tokenSecret ="***";// load from a persistent store 8. Hopefully those steps worked for you.

How the Pentagon Will Build Super-Soliders U.S. adversaries are already working on something America is reluctant to: Enhanced Human Operations (EHO). EHOs entail modifying the body and the brain itself, creating what some have called "super soldiers." At a press conference laying the Defense Department's future research and development strategy on Monday, Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work warned that America would soon lose its military competitive advantage if it does not pursue technologies such employing artificial intelligence. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below "Now our adversaries, quite frankly, are pursuing enhanced human operations, and it scares the crap out of us," Work said. Altering human beings from the inside to more effectively fight in combat presents ethical dilemmas for American scientists and military planners. "We're going to have to have a big, big decision on whether we're comfortable going that way," Work admits. What sort of enhancement are we talking about?

Your personal homepage Treating people with phobias could be possible one day with better understanding of which brain regions fail to function normally when confronted with fear, say scientists. A large network in the brain controls human's response to fear and the source of fear in this study was a tarantula. When a threat is farther away, a more rational functioning controls the response. When a threat gets nearer, a more primitive, panic system takes over. The study involved a man lying in a brain scanner, with his foot in one end of a long, narrow box, which was divided into six compartments of equal size. On a screen he watched a tarantula crawling in one of the compartments. The scanner - a functional magnetic resonance imager (fMRI) - allowed researchers to capture that fear by recording the activity in his brain as he watched the spider, illuminating the hallmarks of the human fear response in the man's brain.
