You can use Twitter for just about anything these days and thanks to an Arduino you can now schedule your coffee from Twitter.
This is a simple hack and a great one if you have been wanting to play with an Arduino but felt a bit intimidated by it. The idea behind the project is to have the Arduino turn on an AC device; this doesn’t necessarily have to specific to the coffee pot. You could have it turn on a radio or TV or anything that connects to an AC outlet.
The code is pretty straight forward and you probably don’t have to do much changing to get it to work. Check out the video after the break of it in action.
