Hey All,
I have successfully connected my uno to my 1930s WE telegraph sounder, isolating it properly and powering it seperately. I am able to trigger it using an output pin on the arduino. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a relatively simple way to take the example that connects to twitter and outputs the contents of a given feed to the serial port and combine it with something like this TweetTelegraph-for-Arduino/TweetTelegraph.pde at master · pookzilla/TweetTelegraph-for-Arduino · GitHub so that basically the example sketch retrieves the data, and then that sketch outputs it to the telegraph sounder having translated it into morse code... Any guidance or suggestions y'all might have would be welcomed.
This is the link for TweetTelegraph, http://pookzilla.net/wp/2011/07/tweettelegraph-part-1/
Ive looked at her method, what I am hoping to do is to eliminate the need for a computer and have the translation handled on the arduino itself... I have found plenty of examples of code that will transcode ascii to morse, but am floundering a bit when it comes to taking the output of a twitter client and "piping" it into one of these transcoders, leaving the output to actuate one of the output pins... does this make sense?
Have you already mastered receiving the twitter feed and parsing it for the desired text?
I dont think so, though I intend to use the entire tweet as output, do you have some suggestions? I'm all ears!
thanks!
