Check out this quick hack I made with tropo :)

I have been hearing a lot of buzz lately about tropo, so I thought I would check it out.

The result of my curiosity is a simple app that helps you prank  your friends.

Now, keep in mind this is the result of only a couple of hours of programming hacking, since I was only evaluating tropo design and api.

The app is still in their dev as I am just getting started and saw no need of moving it to production yet :)

====

Basically you call this number and follow the directions.

It takes two phone numbers and calls them simultaneously like they were calling each other (Spoofing the caller id).

It sends them to a conference where you are waiting as well (muted, so they cannot hear you).

- The result? Two people awkwardly figuring out what the heck is going one while you laugh your arse off :P

 

You can help me 'test' it by calling any of these numbers:

 

Phone: (202) 600-8091

Skype Voice: +990009369991443646

SIP Voice: sip:9991443646@sip.tropo.com

INum Voice: +883510001809269

I have no idea how legal this is but I at least only have used it with closed relatives -hint hint- Have fun and share your experiences :)

Photobooth for fundraiser at MSD

Photobooth is still work in progress,but I thought this was worth posting in case someone ever needs to make a quick controller.

 

Basically, I took an old xbox controller (actually it was an xbox dance pad) cut the plug off and hackishly soldered a USB plug to it.

(Pretty much color to color ignoring an extra yellow cable used by xbox to feed the rumblers)

I Put the stripped board inside a project enclosure from Radioshack (~ 7 US Dollars)

Soldered connectors to where the pad "buttons" would have been and connected them to some arcade buttons I had left over from another project.

Linux already includes the driver for xbox joysticks, so all there was left was to test the device.

Using 'hexdump /dev/input/js0' I was able to verify it was working fine :D

 

Damn I suck at soldering!

Green = Start , Blue = Select between B&W, Sepia, Color
