I have created a Blynk application using Datastream virtual pins to trigger events, I have programmed this using Python as my chosen language. I have created two python scripts, one controlling 8 buttons.The second script runs the live stream option and button 9 on my blynk app is linked to my Glitch Application which then displays the livestream through a hyperlink you have chosen on the page. I have set up a Bash Script that brings up a very small menu that helps you start the app and run the two python scripts at the same time. To access the live stream you will need to click on the Marvel Mirror App button this brings you to a glitch Application that has 4 pages. The first page is a gallery of the last 7 pictures you have taken. These photos are being stored in the firebase Database. I have created this website using a little bit of Javascript which contains a small amount of html. I have used html and css to design the page. I decided since this app is mostly mobile based to design the layout to look better on mobile. While I was trying to code this assignment I corrupted my sd card which was a bit of a nightmare so I would suggest backing up everything you do. So I had to wipe my sd and start from scratch again. I realised the installations were the most time consuming part to get back up and running. It took me 4 hours to get back on track as I had luckily backed up the bulk of my project. I have used multiple libraries tweepy to help send my tweets, twilio to send text if motion is detected.smtplib to send emails and of course the Blynklib so I can link up to my blynk app. I have used my senseHat to display a love heart design you can turn on and off with a blynk button. I have used the sense hat to pick up temp humidity and pressure and will send back quotes if the conditions are met. I have constructed a mirror that will be able to take a picture and send to twitter, email and also the firebase database and update on my glitch App gallery where it is timestamped. I decided to add one last button to my app that would act like a photobooth button as I got an early xmas present of a wifi printer, so I wanted to see what magic I could do with python. I installed cups so that my raspberry pi would recognise my printer. This took me quite a while to find the right documentation to make it work but I am very happy with the outcome. This button acts as a polaroid, the images taken is printed straight away the image is not stored in firebase. On my app i also have a datastream that keeps track of temperature and displays both on gauge and temperature graph. I have included a rgb zebra widget to add a bit of colour to my app it is also handy as a colour picker.

To construct the mirror I bought a frame and I cut out holes the right size so the camera and sense_hat could only be seen from the front. I used a two way roll out mirror and wrapped it around the board from the frame and then put the frame back on . I then made sure my Raspberry pi was safe by making a case out of cardboard cause I didn’t have a case so as not to short circuit the motherboard. I then attached it to the back so it could be visible and functional from the front. I shall attach a step by step constructional document.
