Hi,
did you ever find a solution to this? I'm trying to do the same thing.
I am trying to control 3 led's (blue, yellow, white) via twitter. Currently I can tweet "blue on", "blue off" etc from my twitter account but I would others to be able to do the same by mentioning my twitter name, then writing a control for the lights. When I try to do this from other twitter accounts, the posts do not show up in my serial monitor.
I am currently using the GET
client.println("GET /1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name="+twitterUsername + "&count=1 HTTP/1.1");
which successfully reads my own statuses but not any of the people I'm following. I tried switching it to this:
client.println("GET /1/statuses/home_timeline.xml?screen_name="+twitterUsername + "&count=1 HTTP/1.1");
but that stopped the serial monitor from reading any statuses.
Anyone having any luck with this?
