SMS Messages from the Arduino Ethernet Shield

A small test that can send SMS messages from an Arduino Ethernet Shield. There are many iPhone apps to connect your ethernet shield to your iPhone but many require you to be on the same network. SMS notifications would be useful if the Arduino is connected to several sensors different sensors that could trigger different notifications. A flood sensor, temperature or motion sensor could all be used.

All the work is already done by using the Twitter Library. You just have to create a new Twitter username and modify the settings.
-install the Twitter library here: http://arduino.cc/playground/Code/TwitterLibrary
-create a new twitter username that your arduino will post messages to and possibly make it non-public.
-create a ring token for the new username here that you will enter into your (simple post) arduino example: http://arduino-tweet.appspot.com/
-modify the code to enable DHCP.
-modify your other, regular twitter account to follow the newly created arduino one.
-modify your regular twitter account so it will SMS you on each new twitter post for only your arduino posts. Settings, Mobile and enter your cell phone.
-Home, Following, to the right find your Arduino account, (drop down error), turn on mobile notifications.

Both boards are powered by the one USB cable.

how are you powering the Arduino? Is it POE or is there a battery pack under there?

Ohh wow! Would love to share how this is done!
