Nice combination if you get started with the mBed.

mBeduino Tweeting. And using the LCD Keypad Shield. I see different TextLCD.h files, there are .h-files with the R/W for the LCD used, and there are .h- files where no R/W is used, so you must skip that entry in the configuration of the LCD.

mBeduino with Arduino LCD Keypad Shield…

This is the mBeduino. A baseboard for the mBed with RJ45, USB, power, SD-card, CAN-driver, EEPROM (I2c) and Goldcap. Bought one in Japan, it arrived as a DIY-packet. Took me half an hour to put all parts on it. It has also sockets for Arduino Shields. Got a working HTTPserver running at the moment. On one of the pictures the mBeduino with a LCD Keypad Shield from DFRobot.

No evenings trying to get things running, just connect a RJ45 with magnetics to the mBed, compile an ethernetexample from the cloud, and the mBed is running as a webserver. Used a Magjack 08B0-1X1T-06-F, downloaded the datasheet and connected RD+/-, TD+/- TCT and RCT and things are up and running.
