How I Taught My Dog to Text Selfies with an Arduino and Twilio

The author of the article, Greg Baugues, successfully taught his dog to text selfies using an Arduino Yun and Twilio's Programmable MMS service. The project involves a simple program running on each processor of the Arduino Yun, which waits for a button press, takes a picture with a webcam, uploads it to Dropbox, and sends the selfie as an MMS via Twilio. The entire process is achieved using less than 60 lines of code and relies on pre-installed Python scripts for Linux on the Arduino Yun. This project showcases how simple hardware hacking can be with WiFi-enabled devices like the Arduino Yun, which have lowered the barrier to entry for web developers interested in Internet of Things projects.
