How To Build A Hardware Emoji Ticker

Video

After launching our iOS app Gotta Go!, we wanted to get a better sense of when and how often people were activating their excuses.


To do this, we built a ticker that would display recently activated emojis on an LED board. In this video, recorded during a lunch & learn session at Yeti, Dean demonstrates how we did it.
