As you may have seen from my previous post, I mashed up a little LED glow light thing with my arduino. A few lines of code and a bit of head scratching later and I was sitting pretty with a light up mail/hit notifier. The project is based on two other arduino projects I found online and all code used in this “How to” is based upon the code from the arduino xmas bell and the arduino gmail notifier.

Several days ago I received an Arduno Duemilanove. Several days of complete social isolation and an RSI later, I have created a “Notifier” by mushing together my Arduino with an LED toy/lamp thingy and some inspiration from the Arduino Xmas bell and the Physical Gmail Notifier .

I'm not really sure why this could be happening, but it could be something to do with you running a different version of Python than the one that comes with Mac OS X, or perhaps the Serial library wasn't installed properly.

Have one problem that maybe someone can help with. Its the same as the one mentioned by Allan Knoop above. Basically this works fine when i run it manually through terminal, but when i run the plist with launchd i get a 'ImportError: No module named serial' error. I dont understand how this is as the script runs fine when done manually, so it must be something to do with launchd. i'm running tiger osx 10.4.11. Has anyone else experience this problem? Its a bit head melting!! Great project! Have one problem that maybe someone can help with. Its the same as the one mentioned by Allan Knoop above.

It could get internet connection through wi-fi and have batteries charged through USB. Then it would be even more useful!

I cant believe how cool of a project this is, but being a COMPLETE noob, i have no clue where i went wrong. I followed everything to the best of my ability but im stuck! I have the arduino all hooked up and programmed, the .plist in place and the python file edited to my information. unfortunately ive never used python before and i have no idea how to run or install everything. Ive tried everything i can think of and googling anything just confuses me more. I have no idea what feedparser is or how to install it. PLEASE HELP! ASAP :) Hey everyone, I’m in need of a genius to help me complete this project. I cant believe how cool of a project this is, but being a COMPLETE noob, i have no clue where i went wrong.
