    Answer to 1st Question: http://bit.ly/NXaQiO

     

    Answer to 2nd Question:  Learn from the best.

    #include "RTClib.h"

     

    DateTime now = RTC.now();

    Serial.print(now.hour(), DEC);

     

    And always remember this:

    Hello everyone. i am working on Arduino based server project which let you control or monitor instruments; like machine,motor;over internet. I have written code for Arduino DHCP server which turn on/off LED over internet. it woks in local area. For controlling Arduino outside the world I've done port forwarding in my ADSL modem/Router. now the problem is that i am using DHCP internet from my ISP so i need to check whether my IP is changed or not. I am not from pure networking background so i dnt have much knowledge on it. but from somewhere i've found that i need DNS server and an IP updater program. but i am not cleared what to do? please someone guide me i dont have much time i have to submit this project before 15th october 2012.

    Thanks in Advance....image

    Jeremy,

    The problem i'm having is that im using an arduino uno with a GPRS shield and with the code set up below, i get a continuos sms message on my iphone that i cant stop, also when the wires i have set up on the Gprs are unconnected i still get sms messages on my phone.

    Thanks for your help

     

    //sketch sends a text message if the waterSensor becomes submerged

    #include <SoftwareSerial.h>

     

     

    SoftwareSerial mySerial(7, 8); //gprs shield attached to pins 7 and 8 for software serial connection

     

     

    const String phoneNumber = "+1609xxxxxxx"; //the phone number of the phone to send the text message to, remember to include the country code before the number

    const int sensorPin = 2; //the water sensor is attached to pin 2

    boolean flooded = false; //set the flooded variable to false

    boolean messageSent = false;

     

     

    void setup(){

      mySerial.begin(19200); //19200 is the GPRS baud rate, this must be fixed

      Serial.begin(19200);

      pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT);

      delay(500);

    }

     

     

    void loop(){ //we loop through this area

      if (digitalRead(sensorPin) == HIGH){ //if the sensorPin is high, current is being passed into it, so the sensor must be submerged

        flooded = true; //the basement is therefor flooded

      } else if (digitalRead(sensorPin) == LOW){ //otherwise if it has no current

        flooded = false; //the sensor isn't submerged

        messageSent = false; //we can reset the messageSend, so that if it becomes submerged again, we can end another text message

      }

     

      if ((messageSent == false) && (flooded == true)){ //if we havent yet sent a message, and the sensor is submerged

        sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, "Your basement is flooding [Arduino]"); //we send the text message

        messageSent = true; //we set messageSent to true so that we don't keep sending text messages (this woulld cost a lot of money)

      }

    }

     

     

    void sendTextMessage(String phone, String data){ //sends a text message to phone, containing data

    mySerial.print("AT+CMGF=1\r");    //Because we want to send the SMS in text mode

    delay(100);

    mySerial.println("AT + CMGS = \"" + phone + "\"");//send sms message, be careful need to add a country code before the cellphone number

    delay(100);

    mySerial.println(data);//the content of the message

    delay(100);

    mySerial.println((char)26);//the ASCII code of the ctrl+z is 26

    delay(100);

    mySerial.println();

    }
