an internet doorbell for the hackspace. Do you want to come down to the space, but don't know if someone's in? Tweet @bristolhackbell with a question that can be answered with a 'yes' or 'no'.

The doorbell will play a doorbell sound, and if someone's in they can reply by pressing a button.

we've left some easily available extra pins available on the system, that include serial IO for easy arduino connection.

We're using openscad for the case

We're using python with tweepy's streaming API.
