Greetings
I am working on a web mail notifier. The ethernet shield connects to my server then uses "GET" to grab data. The data is then displayed on a small Nokia LCD. Currently the ethernet shield is able to accomplish this, however it outputs each character individually. Is there a way I can get all characters into a string so that they are displayed all at once?
The code im working with now:
/*
Web client
This sketch connects to a website (http://www.google.com)
using an Arduino Wiznet Ethernet shield.

// for the best viewing!

// give the Ethernet shield a second to initialize:
delay(1000);
Serial.println("connecting...");
// if you get a connection, report back via serial:
if (client.connect()) {
Serial.println("connected");
// Make a HTTP request:
client.println("GET /alertbox.php?name=mc");
client.println();
}
else {
// if you didn't get a connection to the server:
Serial.println("connection failed");
}
}
void loop()
{
// if there are incoming bytes available
// from the server, read them and print them:
if (client.available()) {
char c = client.read()
//Serial.println(c,BIN);
//DISPLAY ON NOKIA - I WANT ALL CHARACTERS TO BE DISPLAYED ON THE NOKIA NOT JUST ONE AT A TIME.
// draw a string at location (0,0)
nokia.setCursor(0, 0);
nokia.print(c);
nokia.display();
delay(100);
//nokia.clear();
//END DISPLAY ON NOKIA
}
// if the server's disconnected, stop the client:
if (!client.connected()) {
nokia.setCursor(0, 0);
nokia.print("Connection Has Failed!");
nokia.display();
delay(100);
nokia.clear();
client.stop();
// do nothing forevermore:
for(;;)
;
}
}
Any help is greatly appreciated.
