Displaying Twitter feed without a PC!

There are a lot of Twitter feed readers around the Web that use Arduino AND a PC to display twits on LCD displays or whatsoever. Then, I decide it was the time to design a solution for performing the same job WITHOUT A PC, and here's the project.
In a simple equation:
Arduino + Ethernet Shield + LCD Display + Twitter = automatic Twitter feed reader with LCD!
The items you need are the following:
- Arduino (I used Duemilanove)
- Ethernet Shield
- an LCD display (mine was 4 lines, but you can easily adapt the software to other dimensions)
- wires
- a box capable of holding the system together
- a simple Arduino sketch

Step 1 Step 1 - Connect the Arduino to the Ethernet Shield

Mount the Ethernet Shield on top of the Arduino board. You can find detailed instructions here.

can we replace the lcd display with dot metrix display? i have 2 unused 3612 sure electronic display. i just need to tweak the code a bit and adjust some connection right? anyone can help me with this?

Can we use these libraries without using Arduino board?? or can you send any alternate library files for using without Arduino?

works fine I modified the sketch to work well with 2x16 LCD but I have problem with Turkish chars. Is it because of LCD library or anything else? How can I correct it?

Unfortunately, I don't know how to proceed. Maybe you'll need to check out whether there's some translator. I believe the LCD library is "tuned" to English characters.

OK.Thanks.
Another question :
How can I check is the final tweet is maches the one I'm looking for and blink a led accordingly...

who's or what EthernetDHCP lib are you using with this code? As far as I can tell there isn't an official EthernetDHCP lib on the Arduino.cc site... the one I've found is: http://gkaindl.com/software/arduino-ethernet/dhcp is this the lib your code references?

[fabrizio.granelli]

If I recall correctly, I used the Ethernet library on the Arduino website. I believe you should copy the EthernetDHCP folder directly in the library folder.
Let me know if you have further problems...
