Sending whatsapp or telegram message?

Hello everyone! I'm new using my UDOO Neo (Full) and I would like to send a telegram or whatsapp message to my mobile. Does anyone know how to do this? I've found this https://github.com/witnessmenow/Universal-Arduino-Telegram-Bot but it seems it works with an Arduino chip that my UDOO Neo doesn't have (ESP8266).

Any ideas?

 

Just use the Linux side of the Neo to send the message. Look for Raspberry Pi examples and the will most likely also work with Udoo Neo.
If needed let the Arduino side send a trigger to the Linux side to send the message. Examples how the Linux side can communicate with the Arduino side can be found here https://www.udoo.org/docs-neo/Serial_Libraries/index.html

Look also to the examples in my signature

 

Hello @waltervl , I think I've got it but it's not working and I don't know why, could you please take a look?

Here's my arduino code

Code:

const int buttonPin = 2; // the number of the button pin
const int ledPin = 13;   // the number of the led pin
int buttonStatus = 0;    // variable for reading the button status

void setup() {
  // initialize serial communication:
  Serial.begin(115200);
  delay(100);
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
  while ( Serial.available() > 0 ) {
    buttonStatus = digitalRead(buttonPin);
    if (buttonStatus == HIGH) {
        digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);  // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
        delay(1000);  // wait for a second.
        Serial.print(buttonStatus); // If LED stays high longer you have serial timeout
        digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
    } else {
        digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
    }
    delay(10000);  // wait for a 10 seconds to prevent buffer overflow
  }
}

And this is my phyton script

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# This program sends a Telegram message using Phoenix_timbre_bot when the Arduino button is pressed
# Then run as sudo python timbre.py

import time
import requests
import serial

sleep = 16 # how many seconds to sleep between posts to the channel, API limit min 15 sec
button_str = '0'
DEBUG = False # set to True to  get more debug prints in the Python console

#Create serial device for reading serial
arduino = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyS1',115200,timeout=1)
arduino.flushOutput()
arduino.flushInput()
serial_buffer = ""
line = ""

#init for arduino so Arduino knows it can send data.
arduino.write("I\n")

def ReadArduino(arduino_out):
    global serial_buffer, line
    arduino_out = ""
    serial_data = arduino.read()                 # Read 1 character
    while serial_data:                             # If there is a character proceed
        serial_buffer += serial_data            # Add character to buffer
        if DEBUG: print "ReadArduino:Serial buffer:",(repr(serial_buffer))
        # if there is a new line in it, then create Line string
        if "\r\n" in serial_buffer:
            if DEBUG: print "ReadArduino:New Line:",(repr(serial_buffer))
            line = serial_buffer
            serial_buffer = "" # empty Serial buffer
        serial_data = arduino.read()
        # if there is a Line string then finish reading the Line
        if line:
                # strip string for unwanted characters
                line = line.replace("\r\n", "")
                arduino_out = line
                if DEBUG: print "ReadArduino:arduino_out:", arduino_out
                line = ""
                if arduino_out == "": arduino_out = None
                # add the last character to the new buffer
                serial_buffer += serial_data
                return arduino_out

def telegram_bot_sendtext(bot_message):
    
    bot_token = '{ here goes my bot token }'
    channel_chatID = '{ here goes my channel id }'
    send_text = 'https://api.telegram.org/bot' + bot_token + '/sendMessage?chat_id=' + channel_chatID + '&parse_mode=Markdown&text=' + bot_message

    response = requests.get(send_text)

    return response.json()
    
def verificar_timbre():
    global button, button_str
    while True:
        #read arduino data and make it a integer value
        button_str = ReadArduino(button_str)
        if button_str is None:
            button_str = '0'
        button = int(button_str)
        if button == 1:
            telegram_bot_sendtext('Est??n tocando el timbre')

if __name__ == "__main__":
    while True:
        verificar_timbre()
        time.sleep(sleep)

Also I'm doing in the console sudo ln -s /dev/ttyMCC /dev/ttyS1

What I´m doing wrong?

Thanks!

 

So what is not working then? No messages in python console?? LED is not flashing?
Perhaps add some extra logging for debugging.

Be sure the python script runs before you press a button on the Arduino.

 

The messaging feature on whatsapp gb won't ask for those things. All supported?
