Hello,

I've been fiddling with my WiShield 2.0 today trying to get it to connect to twitter. Apparently twitter left Basic Authentication some time ago and now are using OAuth. Anyone can help me with porting this ethernet based OAuth library to WiShield?

Thanks

OAuth is the Twitter preferred method of authentication moving forward - come August 2010, we'll be turning off Basic Auth from the API.

Was there a resouliton to this? I would like to use twitter with the wishield as well.

There are discussions and solutions on the main arduino forum for this.

Mainly about the ethernet shield but are just as easily used on the wishield.

I can't seem to get it to work. If you happen to have a working example please post.
Thanks!

Have you read the numerous posts on this subject on arduino.cc as I suggested?

This seems to be the simplest.
All you need is to sign up to http://SuperTweet.net
and replace the url for twitter to the new service.

Supertweet worked thanks! I was originally trying to get the outh libraries to work with wishield which is to say the least the hard way.
Supertweet is way easier thanks again for pointing to me there.
