Accomplishes a Hello World version of Igoe's CatCam program. I can push a button on my Arduino board connected to the Mac and get my PC to send a mail to my gmail. Will post the code soon.
With the help of a software guru of course :)
Basically, following the lead from Tom Igoe :
App running on the Arduino is very simple and just services a pushbuttom press and a very simple handshake with the PC over the serial port, which also serves in the debounce (PC implements a 2 second delay. Yuck!)
PC runs a very simple program (in Processing code) to monitor the serial port and look for the secret byte. When it gets it, it fetches a PHP page from the webserver.
Webserver, services that request by sending a mail using the simple port 25 protocal at mail.google that doesn't require authentication.
Mail will be in your spam folder in your gmail because it looks like an obvious forgery.
