Could you send me the Arduino Sketch over? I'm an Arduino newbie and I'm making my first steps in parsing information from the web. Your Sketch could be very helpful to me! Thank You Very Much! Till Hello John,

I very much like your idea. Could you send me the Arduino Sketch over? I’m an Arduino newbie and I’m making my first steps in parsing information from the web. Your Sketch could be very helpful to me!

Thank You Very Much!

If I log out, I get "cannot find specified user", presumably because my cookie isn't valid. Adding ?usernames=an_example_username doesn't help. Hence the thought that you must be exchanging a cookie from the Arduino board I must be missing something – tried the where.json api and while I’m logged in I get my location back.

Because I'm parsing the text of the favourite I don't have to make my full location public so the Arduino doesn't have to log in, but can still find which favourite I'm at.

Is the user location public or do you log in and store the cookie on the Arduino? Cool project :) To get the position, do you use mapme.at/where/?

Cool project :)
