Outcome/Prototype

I was able to create a bee that tweeted whenever it was being moved. Using the accelerometer on the circuit playground bluefruit that was attached to the bee, the device communicated over bluetooth with my phone, which in turn communicated with the Adafruit IO website regarding whether there was a significant change in the accelerometer data. If there was, the data was transferred to IFTTT which then either sent a tweet or an email that the bee was being moved. By the final iteration, this processes worked rather seamlessly and quickly, with only a short delay between the movement of the bee and a tweet or email. 

In order to determine if the bee was being moved or not, I examined the accelerometer data and determined that if the x, y, or z coordinates changed by '2', the device should output a 1, otherwise the device should continuously output 0s. Through this binary, I instructed IFTTT to only respond to a 1 in order to publish a tweet or send an email.
