I am trying to understand if it is possible to create a Facebook notification system by using an Arduino uno and an Ethernet shield. Basically I would like to create an array of RBG leds corresponding to some of my friend ids on facebook, and control those leds to notify their online status. I would like my project to be standalone, so I would connect the system to my router and just let it run perpetually. Is there around any tipp on how to operate Arudino with the Facebook Graph API? Without the interfacing with any software on PC?
Have you done any google search with your ideas yet? Seems like you know about some API from facebook. I would start with those keywords and add arduino. FYI, the arduino can't do https. That might be a deal breaker.
Hi, thanks for your answers. I am stopping by just to day that I might have found a way to do this. I am writing a JAVA web server which is going to run on my desktop PCweb, using the restfb lightweight API (http://restfb.com/). This component is the one that is going to fetch the informations I want to share with the Arduino, and make them available on my home LAN. I will put the arduino in charge of making a polling of the status, via LAN to the application running on the PC and then light the leds according to the data. I saw from the ethernet examples that the WebClient example should be the right starting point for me.
