=======
|
|
|
|
seeds2 is a Python application that you can use to keep track of your seeds or plants growing on Twitter. It is a reboot of the [Internet of Seeds project by Pimoroni in 2016](http://blog.pimoroni.com/the-internet-of-seeds/).

|
There's a supporting blog post here for background info - http://blog.alexellis.io/iot-growbox/

### Installation
|
|
|
|
* Install depedencies
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
|
|
$ sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Update your access keys
|
|
|
|
Now add your Twitter keys into a config.py file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
config = {"ckey": "", "csecret": "", "akey": "", "asecret": "", "working_directory": "./", "image_quality": 35 , "tweet": True}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> For testing without Tweeting you can set `tweet` to `False` in the `config.py` file.
|
|
|
|
* Get the Roboto font from:
|
|

|
https://material.io/guidelines/resources/roboto-noto-fonts.html
|
|
|
|
* For scheduling the code - use `cron` and this entry:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
*/10 08-20 * * * /home/pi/seeds2/seed-it.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That runs once every 10 minutes between 8am and 8pm.
