This week we do step 1 of our on-air light. We make the arduino check the status of the live Ustream channel. <br /><br />To do this we use an ethernet shield to poll the Ustream API to check the status of our strem. We learn how to setup the ethernet shield and then poll a web server. <br /><br />We also introduce you to JSON and a new JSON Library in this episode of Let's Make It. <br /><br />For the sample code, show notes, contact information and many more videos, visit the show page at http://tech-zen.tv/letsmakeit <br /><br />Please subscribe to our YouTube channel or our netcasts at any of your favorite netcast / podcast outlets. <br /><br />We normally record Let's Make It live on wednesday evenings around 7pm eastern. You can watch it live by going to tech-zen.tv and clicking the live link at the top of the page. <br /><br />We also have a community setup for our viewers and listeners.
