Let’s say you’re a fan of one of the bands in The Deli magazine’s new bands poll<\/a>. There are so many good bands there, like Teen Girl Scientist Monthly<\/a>, and others. And let’s say you were looking for a project for an Arduino WiFi shield or Ethernet shield. \u00a0Why not make your Arduino vote for your favorite band? It’s not hard to do.<\/p>\n

First you need to know how to scrape the webpage for the URL of the vote. If you view source on the page, you’ll see it nice and clear:<\/p>\n

\/poll\/poll.php?category=6&answer=6560&adZone=7<\/pre>\n
So the whole URL is<\/p>\n
http:\/\/nyc.thedelimagazine.com\/poll\/poll.php?category=6&answer=6560&adZone=7<\/pre>\n
Great! Now, take the WiFi WebClient example, or the Ethernet WebClient example, and change a few lines:<\/p>\n
Change \u00a0this:<\/p>\n
client.println(\"GET \/search?q=arduino HTTP\/1.1\");\r\nclient.println(\"Host:www.google.com\");<\/pre>\n
to this:<\/p>\n
client.println(\"GET \/poll\/poll.php?category=6&answer=6560&adZone= HTTP\/1.1\");\r\n client.println(\"Host:nyc.thedelimagazine.com\");<\/pre>\n
And change this:<\/p>\n
char server[] = \"nyc.thedelimagazine.com\";<\/pre>\n
to this:<\/p>\n
char server[] = \"www.google.com\";<\/pre>\n
And give it a go! Remember, no cheating. You can only vote once per IP address. \u00a0But if you know a friend with several WiFi shields or Ethernet shields, well, that’s only one IP address per shield, right?<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
