Thanks very much, fxmech! Sorry, no, I had brave intentions of doing more with this, but so far no. It would be cooler if the networking was over wifi! Best of luck with your project.

If you read my update on the phone, you will see that it totally failed when in any kind of realworld use. Given that it is now two years older than it was back then, I recommend finding another phone. This one really isn't worth the trouble.

Hi, I also have this phone and it's so hard to get info on how to use the other features of this phone. Does anyone know how to activate the phone's GPRS? and how to make the ebook reader work? if you have the answers that I need u can email it to me pls.. (katbustillo@yahoo.com)

Express PCB works pretty good for schematics and Circuit Board Design. Just in case you're looking for something else to use.

2011-02-17T10:01:21.192-08:00

I had to ad the gateway IP and netmask of my ADSL modem to get it connected to the pop server.
I also had to add a extra command "stat" (after the password) to get a message how many emails I have.

Before client.flush() line 106 I added Serial.print(i); and Serial.print(inString[i]);
this way it was easier to discover the right position of the email number.

Lines 101 to 105 of the Arduino sketch:

}
if (key == '#'){

If the # is pressed, then the sketch goes on to the process of sending the number over to the PHP script.

How did you get the array to reject the "#" sign as an input to the array, causing an overflow

Hi Thomas - That would take quite a bit of study to figure out and I did this almost one year ago! Maybe look at some of my other projects where I have used the Ethernet Shield and see if you can figure it out. As usual, look at the examples in the Ethernet library documentation on www.arduino.cc.

Hi,

I was trying to get your code to work on two arduino ethernet shields and was wondering how you would empliment the client code. b/c i am not having any luck.

@Nick - I bought this off of eBay from a seller called "valves4projects". Here is a link to his store ->

http://stores.ebay.ca/valves4projects.

I believe the one I used was a 12 volt 1/4 inch unit like this ->

http://cgi.ebay.ca/1-4-Electric-Solenoid-Valve-12-volt-Air-Water-BBTF-/290488726108?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a27a325c.

I recall him being a very good eBay merchant and you can ask him what would be the best fit for your project. The circuit above shows how to interface to the 12 volt solenoid.

2010-10-30T01:28:39.718-07:00

Exactly which solenoid valve did you use for this project? I'm trying to build a device that automatically discharges the contents of a CO2 cartridge on command from an Arduino.

Ouch! That doesn't sound like fun. Hang in there...and remember to eat LOTS of berries (doc's orders).

Ohh owwwww! Hope it all gets better really soon!

You get the badge of courage for having put up with me for the last eleven years!

Many thanks for all your help! This surgery does leave you pretty helpless so it is important to have someone there for you!

If you're doing this as a public service for other folks contemplating the procedure, you should warn them about the enthusiastic folks who will direct your spouse/significant other to the chair with the best view of the monitor that is showing a full-screen high-def close-up full-colour live feed of the surgery as it happens. For some reason they believe that one would WANT to see surgery on an eyeball the size (and colour) of a pizza.

Just for the record, I did watch. I think there's a good-spouse badge I get for this...

This is a totally sweet hack, good on you!
