It\u2019s a mix of low-tech and high-tech. You can set up your reaDIYmate&#8217;s behavior by using a simple could-based web interface. Define a single action or combine them to create a more sophisticated behavior. Here is the list of actions available at launch:<\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><font size=\"2\"><b>Facebook<\/b>: Move and play an MP3 when you receive notifications, new messages, friend requests and likes (See the video below). Post a status when you press the button.<\/font> <\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><font size=\"2\"><b>Twitter<\/b>: Move and play an MP3 when you are mentioned and have new followers. Send a tweet when you press the button.<\/font> <\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><font size=\"2\"><b>Foursquare<\/b>: Move and play an MP3 when a friend is in a certain venue. Check-in when you press the button.<\/font> <\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><font size=\"2\"><b>Gmail<\/b>: Move and play an MP3 when you receive an email from a specific person or an email where the subject contains a keyword. Send an email when you press the button.<\/font> <\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><font size=\"2\"><b>RSS<\/b>: Move and play an MP3 when a feed is updated or when it contains a specific keyword.<\/font> <\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><font size=\"2\"><b>IfThisThenThat<\/b>: For even more channels, use ifttt to trigger events on your reaDIYmate.<\/font> <\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><font size=\"2\"><b>Soundbox<\/b>: Follow a SoundCloud user and the new sounds will be played on your reaDIYmate when they are posted.<\/font> <\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><font size=\"2\"><b>Remote<\/b>: Use your iPhone accelerometer to play in real-time with your reaDIYmate or the reaDIYmate of a friend! This is telekinesis! (See the video below!)<\/font> <\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><font size=\"2\"><b>Inbox<\/b>: Send an email with a sound attached to any reaDIYmate and it will play that sound.<\/font> <\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><font size=\"2\"><b>Copycat<\/b>: Do exactly the same things at the same time as another reaDIYmate.<\/font> <\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><font size=\"2\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">Moreover, reaDIYmate is compatible to the <u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&amp;search_in_description=0&amp;keyword=Grove\" target=\"_blank\">Grove system<\/a><\/u>. That extends reaDIYmate\u2019s possibilities to a large extent. You have more than 50 plug-and-play electronic bricks from Seeed Studio to play with. You can also plug most Arduino shields onto the reaDIYmate board.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\">For now, 100+ people have backed this project, and your supports will be surely making the project even closer to real world.
