PostingPiggy is your typical piggy bank - pink in color. Hidden inside is a credit card reader. Turning the joystick on the side determines the amount to deduct https://brainy-bits.com/blogs/tutorials/arduino-joystick-tutorial. The joystick direction is restricted to only one axis of movement. Each movement to right determines the dollar amount in multiples of 10. Movements to the left determine cent values in multiples of 20. The numbers are tallied on a screen beside the joystick https://community.particle.io/t/getting-started-with-the-maker-kit-oled-how-to/15897. Pressing the joystick transmits the tallied amount, to be deposited into the savings account. This amount is transmitted to the bank through the bank API. The tallied amount is also posted to your facebook page through IFTTT.
