Code

The code was fairly straight forward. There were a couple examples of using this Ethernet module on line that were very helpful in getting it up and running. The basic flow is: DHCP - connect to web site - pull the whole page - pull out just the important info.

This wasn't too bad, the worst part is doing the screen scraping. I opted to go to the mobile version of the sites that I wanted info from so that I wouldn't have to wade through as much info. For example, look at the difference between the Mobile ESPN home page the normal ESPN home page. The mobile version has less adds, no flash, a more to the point format designed for quick viewing which is just what I need.

My goal is to change this to have a web server pull the data for me so that I can offload much of the data processing from the micro-controller.
