Hello!
I've been trying to get some code together for an auto fish tank feeder.
Here is the code I have so far:
/*
Made by Elijah Wood
Based off of Rob Glinka's version
Auto fish feeder
It will feed fish everyday and change the water every week. It will send email notifiers to conferm feeding when away from your home.
Made to be used with the Arduino ethernet sheild.
* are used to protect my personal information. You must replace them with your info.

#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <Servo.h>

byte ip[] = {LOCAL IP};
byte server[] = { 98, 136, 86, 109 }; // Mail server address (this is for yahoo's mobile smtp)

if (client.available()) {

Serial.print(c);
}
}
}
What I'm trying to accomplish is this; every day my tank will be fed and every week my tank will go through a water change. I want it to send me an email after it does these two actions. For example, it just fed the fish at 7:00 AM and then it will send me a conformation email telling me that they have been fed.
My question: based some of my code off of Rob Glinka's email sender. But I'm not sure how to get auth info for my yahoo account. His version says that it's created via some perl script. Being a beginer in programming; I'm not sure what that is. Can someone help?
Also, if anyone spots any problems with the code, please tell me.
Thanks,
Elijah
