Instructables user [Ian] has created this multi color LED Christmas tree that fades to the new color with every new tweet on Twitter. @tweet_tree understands red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple colors, and only the first letter (such as r,o,y,g,b, & p) of the color matters to give commands. You can send one color, or a combination of colors to morph through. If there are more than one color in a tweet or multiple tweets, the tree fades between them until it reaches the most recently sent tweet. Follow the step-by-step guide to creating your own @tweet_tree.
