Octocat PR Celebrator

Summary

Whenever you merge a PR, Octocat will do a randomly generated dance as a reward for your hard work.

This is an IoT project built using an ESP8266 and the github API. It parses your github event feed every 3 or so seconds and if a PR is merged, generates some dance patterns for a connected servo. The servo is connected to the octocat skeleton which is made out of left over cardboard packaging found around my flat.

Features

• Dances are randomly generated
• Sends an ETag header so you will not encouter rate-limit issues with the Github API
• Runs over wifi
• Uses WiFIiManager to connect to wifi, and provide a github token in a safe manner

Open Source

This little octocat is released under the MIT licence and can be found here on Github.
