Simple Arduino + Twitter help needed!

Hi all,

I am very new to the arduino as well as programming. I understand how to write basic code as I have some prior experience with Ruby, but am having trouble combining Python with Arduino.

The code should not be hard, but I need help writing it.

The code should connect my twitter to my arduino so that if I post a twitter (from my account username and password only!), the servo attached to the arduino should act accordingly.

For example:

If I tweet
#arduino_servo +180 degrees
the servo should turn 180 degrees Clockwise.

Whereas, if I tweet
#adruino_servo -45 degrees
the servo should turn 45 degrees Counter Clockwise.

Please assist me by posting bits of example code below. Thanks so much!

post the code below for the Twitter connection as well as the sketch-code for arduino!

So when you comming over here to wash my truck, mow my lawn, and vacuum my house? :wink:

I'm sorry, I didn't mean for anyone to write all of the code, I just needed some help is all :slight_smile:
I edited my original so that it doesn't turn off too many users.

Probably the first thing to do is search the board and playground for tweet and twitter. See if you can find simple code examples and see if you can recover data from the twitter server. Once that is accomplished you can work on controlling external gizmos.
