Like Stealer - Give prizes for likes in your Facebook fanpage

justiciero24

Hi everyone!

 

I just want the show the project that I am working on. It is a modified candy vending machine, but instead of using coins for getting a candy or any other prize... It uses likes and checkins in your business or blog's Facebook fanpage! So when a customer gets into your store and told his friends he was here or gives you a like, the machine gives him a prize. So is an excellent publicity for your business, because a lot of people will talk about it. Also a great idea to bring it in  the next social event, it will attract a lot of people image And yeah... the machine can speak and give you instructions as seen in the video (right now only in spanish, sorry)

 

"Like Stealer is a IoT machine that is connected to social networks, in this case FaceBook. And when it detects someone gave him a like or made a check-in to our store fanpage gives an award thanking him for his support. The customer needs to press a touch button, and then make the like or checkin. It is an excellent tool for advertising and marketing, especially in social events image It uses an Adafruit Feather M0 WiFi and it will be open source in a future image "

 

Here are some pictures of what it looks like right now:

And right here a small demonstration:

 

 

 

What do you think of it? Do you think it will be useful in a business as a tool for interacting with his customers?

Thanks for reading, I hope you can give me your opinions image

    Sure, actually I can't publish the code right now .But I can say that it uses the Facebook Graph API and the machine reads the data of the fanpage via HTTPS queries. The machine has an SD card memory that holds the Facebook page ID, access token, GMT timezone and the information of your access point to connect to the internet.  Also in this memory the voices are stored for playback when needed.  When you press the button "Like Stealer" queries your actual number of likes/checkins in your fanpage and if later an increment is detected it gives you the prize. It has a timeout, so if nothing happens the machine doesn't give you a prize.  It also has an RTC (real time clock) for data logging purposes, the date/time is automatically updated from internet based in the given GMT timezone.


    There are some pictures of the inside and development process:

     

    This are the first tests, especially sound and Facebook queries:

    This is the frontal panel, here you can see the RGB leds and capacitive button. the panel has been made using a laser cutter:

    This is a little test of everything before assembly it inside the machine:

    This is the assembly process, something important I forget to mention is that the machine can operate with a built-in lipo battery. Charger is also built-in.

    This is just a prototype, right now I am designing an improved version with a new PCB por replace all of this crazy wiring and correct some noise problems image
