Thanks
Re-Debounce- I'm sure that is going to be a problem that I'll need to deal with, but I'm trying to stay focused here first to get it actually working, plus that debounce (toggle on/off) was hurting by brain looking at, so for now, I'm putting that on the back burner. I agree though, once I get this working, I'm going to need a simple, effective way to just shoot one call out every time it is actually pressed.
So, I replaced "curl" with the "/usr/bin/curl" and connected the pin (i.e. pressed the button), and nota.
For the echo - do I put the while statement just below runCurl(); in the loop and yes, call Serial.begin() in setup...is that all?
Also- why #include <Bridge.h> and <Process.h> at the start- I sort of figured that needed to be there, but I don't really understand what they are doing.
Thank you
