abit of information before i ask for help. i'm currently working on a project that involves an nodeMCU and some adafruit neopixels. i have already had some issues involving the VCC pin not holding 4+ volts but thats another issue. what i'm trying to accomplish is to have the esp8266 connect to a known wireless network and loop a check to twitter, instagram, facebook, and gmail for new notifications. upon reviving a notification the neopixes do things.
I have alittle experience coding but so far i'm having trouble figuring out a way to self contain this or at least simplify the workflow. I dont want to run a server to do the pull requests i want the device to do as much of the work as possible with out having to rely on other services. the more i look at this the more i see that i may HAVE to use another service, which in that case will be fine.
i'd love some help getting started with this. my plan is to make the entire project open source including any housings or what not.
thanks in advance!. also i'm using the arduino ide as my programming platform but if using the lua is better for this project please let me know.
thanks in advance!
