Hi everyone :slight_smile:

I want to make notification screen for my desk

Notification screen will show (on colored LCD screen) ;

New tweet notifications,
New e-mail notifications,
Missed calls,
Weather,
Date and Clock etc...

And this device should connect smartphone via Bluetooth.

Can i do this with Arduino.Is there a simpler way to do this? And what kind of stuff do i need ?

  • => color display
  • Tweets => wifi
  • missed calls => wifi or bluetooth + special code on your phone
  • Weather ==> wifi , + json parsing of e.g. openweather.org
  • Date and Clock ==> RTC
  • etc ==> this is the most difficult requirement ever

You need an Arduino MEGA + wifi shield + RTC + display to get started.
In the documentation section of Arduino.cc are many examples with code snippets that do exactly what I think you want.
Work through them.

Then why don't you write your requirements in detail....

Thanks for your answer. Actually i don't know my all requirements yet. This is what was on my mind while i'm writing first post.But i have couple of more questions.

How can i connect twitter with arduino ? (should i work with api keys ?)
Do i have to add physical buttons ? Or will touchscreen be used?
What is RTC? and Where is Documentation section ?

And can you give me project links similar to this one?

I attemped to do something, i don't want to bother people but i don't know anything.

From reading previous post concerning social media, your project will probably be difficult. Below is some previous discussions concerning twitter you can review.

Thanks for your answer. I looked at some pages. I found this, i think it might be useful : http://duino4projects.com/displaying-twitter-feed-without-a-pc-using-arduino/

But i found out there is easier way to do this. An Android Development Board.

Just install some widgets and develop a launcher(or download and customize) to change user interface as i like. It costs at least $150 ,but the Arduino Based one won't be cheaper though , am i right?
