Arduino IoT Cloud Fundamentals | 2024 Step-by-Step Guide

Video Description

We’re back in the Cloud today, looking at all the updated features of the Arduino IoT Cloud! Check out what’s new for 2024 and build your first cloud project using Uno R4 WiFi and ESP32 DevKit boards.

There have been several changes to Arduino's IoT product since we last looked at it, including a “Triggers” feature and support for almost anything that can connect to the Internet. We will build a cloud project using an Arduino Uno R4 WiFi board and an ESP32 Dev Kit. We’ll see how to use the cloud console to set up the boards as cloud devices, associate them with a “thing,” and create cloud variables for them. Then, we will build a dashboard to control our boards. If you want a detailed step-by-step guide to getting started with the cloud, check out the accompanying article for this video at https://dronebotworkshop.com/iot-cloud-fundamentals. It will have you working up in the cloud in no time! Here is a breakdown of today's episode: 00:00 - Introduction 01:47 - Arduino IoT Cloud 05:36 - Cloud Console Tour 07:50 - Building a Cloud Project 10:22 - Add an Uno R4 WiFi Device 13:39 - Build a Thing 16:20 - Cloud Project Code 20:38 - Dashboard and Demo 23:29 - Modify using Desktop IDE 28:19 - Cloud Project Demo 2 - Variables and Dashboard 30:30 - ESP32 Project 37:39 - LED Code with OTA Update 40:15 - Device to Device 43:09 - Using Triggers 41:47 - Add trigger and test 46:26 - Conclusion I have decided to make this the first video in a series because there are so many new IoT Cloud features, too many for one video or even two. The next one will cover using MicroPython with the IoT Cloud, followed by an episode about using the Cloud with Amazon Alexa Home devices. I've also been working with Arduino (I will be presenting an IoT Cloud project at Arduino Days 2024), and I asked them for a discount coupon so you could try the cloud. They obliged, and you can use code DRONEBOTSHOP when signing up for a monthly Maker plan. You'll get two months free, so you can try out the Arduino Iot Cloud for yourself. Hope you enjoy the video!
