Foursquare Checkin Notifier: Working with the Push API and Arduino

[carlric]

You are not only cute, but smart too! ;)

Another great example of how Arduino connects virtual and real worlds together. Great job!

[daafies2]

where do you get the sign?

[mrichardson23]

@daafies2 They're pretty cheap on ebay because it's old tech that many large companies are doing away with.

@op4l4 Crypto on the Arduino is the most EVIL thing ever! Nothing in the world is more evil than AES on an 8-bit Microprocessor.

[tbsys31061]

Very cool! I should really get one of those! :)

@humxa24 he does more interesting things, but i wish he did more how-tos

[matthiasgh]

Matt, what do you think about SOPA? make a vid

[Mylesleadbeatter]

I would love to see some more detailed tutorials on how to use / setup a php server and get it communicating with arduino

[miksu103]

just awesome!!

[MrGedablo]

nice, would like you to teach such things, source codes and arduino configurations

[topherquoter]

awesome.  source code would be great.

[mrichardson23]

@topherquoter I just put a link to the source code in the description. It's still very sloppy, but it works.

[xanokothe]

Great Project! So when you press 'checkin', its sends your location to your php server, and then your php server connects to your Arduino, its right?

[mrichardson23]

@xanokothe Well, Foursquare is actually monitoring if anyone checks into a particular venue (i.e. my apartment) and then sends an alert when they do.

[silverstream314]

Keep us updated on your various projects! It is nice to see fun examples of what you can do with an arduino like this. Inspiring!

Source code? Would love to see how you set your server to accept the SSL connection.

[mrichardson23]

@bekathwia My webhost, Site5, has a shared SSL certificate on all their shared servers. I put the PHP files there and give the foursquare push API the address of the domain on the SSL cert, worked like a charm. Just posted links to the code in the description, by the way.
