Twittering with Arduino+Ethernet Shield

Projects Programming
21

Earlier in the week I had my Arduino Duemilanove with ethernet shield tweeting the SimplePost examlpe from my office PC, Now that I have it at home I cannot get it to work. Have attempted some of the stuff above to try and get reading but nothing. I have made no changes to the SimplePost example other than the IP and OAUTH token. No idea why it would work on one network and not another. Ideas?

Major newbie here.

Any help would be much appreciated.

HI, i am trying to post on my twitter account and I cant, anyone can help me put in this pls.

Thanks for your quick response. Yes I have read everything but i am not being able to post anything on twitter. I have the w5200 ethernet shield, dont know if its the same as the others.

Any sort of 'bot activity on twitter means that your account gets blocked. Twitter sort of feels that it is not really in the business of providing a universal info bus to anyone who wants one.

Two possible things, 1) I think twitter uses https which the arduino etherent shield setup does not support, and 2) I think the w5200 ethernet shield uses a different library than the w5100 ethernet shield.

With IDE 160 and 167 I get only connecting ....
with IDE 105 and CodeBlock 13.12 work OK
IDE 160 and 167 use same Ethernet lib as CodeBlock

#if defined(ARDUINO) && ARDUINO > 18 // Arduino 0019 or later
#include <SPI.h>
#endif
#include <Ethernet.h>
//#include <EthernetDNS.h> Only needed in Arduino 0022 or earlier
#include <Twitter.h>

byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 50 };
byte ip[] = {192,168,1,50};
Twitter twitter("______________________");
char msg[] = "Test tweet from Arduino";

void setup()
{
delay(1000);
Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
Serial.begin(9600);

Serial.println("connecting ...");
if (twitter.post(msg)) {
//int status = twitter.wait();
int status = twitter.wait(&Serial);
if (status == 200) {
Serial.println("OK.");
} else {
Serial.print("failed : code ");
Serial.println(status);
}
} else {
Serial.println("connection failed.");
}
}

void loop()
{
}

What about the currently supported version, 1.6.11?

Well, then, you know what to do.
