Re: How to send an email using Galileo board?

Here is another code example I just got working. It uses an Arduino sketch that makes a system call to a python script to send email using gmail account.

1) Create python script (email.py). Change your email account and password, etc of course...

import smtplib

fromaddr = 'myemail@gmail.com'

toaddrs  = 'toemail@gmail.com'

msg = "\r\n".join([

  "From: myemail@gmail.com",

  "To: toemail@gmail.com",

  "Subject: Alert!",

  "",

  "Something happened"

  ])

username = 'myemail@gmail.com'

password = 'mypassword'

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com:587')

server.ehlo()

server.starttls()

server.login(username,password)

server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg)

server.quit()

2) In your arduino sketch, call this below and update the path if you store it elsewhere

system("python /media/realroot/email.py");
