Arduino IoT Cloud 2021 - Getting Started with Arduino & ESP32

[@Dronebotworkshop]

Hi everyone - It's come to my attention that there has been someone masquerading as myself, responding to some comments here with a link to a Telegram chat to win a prize from me. THIS IS A SCAM, I am not holding a contest, nor do I have a Telegram account. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THESE MESSAGES!! It's happening on a lot of my videos, I'm taking steps to remove them manually, but as I have 162 videos, it will take some time. If you do run across a suspicious comment, I would appreciate you letting me know at [e-mail]. Thanks! Bill (The real one!)

[@Dronebotworkshop]

So sorry for the long gap between videos, have had a bunch of tech issues (hopefully now resolved) plus I'm involved in a new robotics project (plus the resurrection of an older one) that I'll be showing you very soon, and it's been taking up most of my time. Hope you enjoy the video!

[@qwkimball]

Your content is always worth the wait. Thank you for your efforts.

[@vinay_dias]

No problem quality content is more appreciated than frequent content

[@manavt2000]

Robotics 😍😍😍😍 we are waiting!!

[@camplays487]

Was actually looking for a video on this topic yesterday perfect timing thank you!

[@casemodder89]

No problem at all. We are patient for quality content !

[@rodgebrown7996]

As a 74 year old novice I decided to give this project a go, it took me a day to get it working with the Arduio Nano33 IOT. Most of the time was spent solving issues that were unrelated to the excellent tutorial. Thank for the great work Bill.

[@inferno6012]

i just wanted to say you are the best teacher you got me through uni projects and gave me so much knowledge. thankyou for your hard work even though i am becoming an artist and have left engineering as a career choice i still love to watch your videos :D

[@michelbourgeois988]

Montréal? So am I! :D Thanks for all your videos! I’ve learned a lot with you! Today I was proud to connect a RGB LED and control the intensity of each color with 3 sliders from IOT. I placed the breadboard on my balcony and went far away (but close enough to see it) in my car to control the LED with my phone!

[@teodorvasile3301]

Thanks for the inspiration @DroneBot Workshop! I will use some of your experiments in my class with the students to demonstrate the capabilities of the Arduino IoT Cloud and the various supported boards and sensors.

[@beeman1885]

A ton of capability revealed here in an easy to understand straightforward manner. Thanks for putting this together.

[@JonathanDeWitt1988]

Bill, This was another great educational video. I'm glad to get exposure to this topic and find an option for over the internet control. Thank you for showing both the Arduino and ESP32 for the same application. It gives those of us who don't have much exposure to the ESP32 but quite a bit to the Arduino a better understanding of how to bridge the gap to the ESP32. Thank you for putting this together and sharing.

[@fsodn]

I'm contemplating setting up an Arduino MKR controller to control a couple of AC outlets and monitor temperatures at a remote location. This video is a treasure-trove of getting started. Thank you so much! This is amazing!

[@robertskeard2818]

One of the best channels I've found with such a huge amount of information. Clear and easy to follow.

[@MichaelWillems]

Finally getting into Arduino Cloud. I was resisting for the longest time: I’m happy with the IDE. But you have convinced me. And saved me time figuring all this out. Merci and dressings from Ottawa.

[@tpobrienjr]

Lots of things (lower case things) to know. rewind and play, rewind and play. THANKS BILL!

[@amartinjoe]

THANK YOU so much for doing this. I borrowed a book from the library "Connecting the Arduino to the Web" and I found it way too complex. This method is way easier.

[@7Trident3]

A fellow Canadian, cheers from N.S.! Do the exact same video with AWS, Azure, etc. This is in demand and timely! Keep up the great content!

[@jamescullins2709]

Roger I agree great work. I am 79 and still learning.

Tiny thing: at 42:44, that LED shows the kathode on the left, I think? The “cup”. But your ground connection is on the right.

[@wallaceshackleton1889]

This was one of those videos that have a classic light bulb moment, BING! A simple alternative to NodeRed and MQTT, for a home barometer project, now there's an idea that I can use. Thanks. A thoroughly interesting video.

[@k9slover]

Thanks for the video. Your presentations are clear and well explained, with a lot of good info. I have subscribed and plan on joining the forum.

[@larry9210]

Great video. You may want to have a short video on initial connection of the IOT cloud, especially where you get the error can’t find device driver or device driver not installed, and how to correct that. Thanks again

[@SprocketN]

Very good introduction, thank you 😀 I already have a project in mind for this, something I’m currently doing with three ESP32s and a Raspberry Pi running a NodeRed flow. My current set up is quite hard to maintain. When I add functionality I have to remove the ESP from its enclosure, then connect it to my pc then upload the revised program, then put it back in its enclosure. This takes time and could create problems with the connections as I have to disturb the boards they are mounted on. The OTA functionality will save having to remove them from their enclosures and the dashboard feature can release my Raspberry Pi for my next project.

[@noweare1]

Some very strange responses to this video. Thanks for the time to make this. Another option for controlling remotely. Good to know.

[@gautampatel212]

An excellent video!!! I would also like to watch comparison of other IOT platform like Blynk and others, whilch one is easy to use and better. Thanks.

[@petermolnar6017]

As always, an excellent video! Thank you for sharing it!

[@rockymountainfacet5958]

I just picked up the Arduino Opla. I cant find much information out there on it. I love your videos. I am watching this hoping to solve my issues.

[@KarlSanathos]

This looks really cool and accessible. And you are doing a great job demonstrating it. I would really like this to be independent from a central server I have no control over.

I really love your workshop videos, they have helped me out on many occasions

[@c1videoprod]

Hi Bill, Great video as always. I had a little issue with the Nano 33-iot. It wasn't being recognized by the IOT cloud interface. I went into the arduino ide and set the device to Nano-33-iot and the port that was recognized. After doing these steps, the devices was recognized by the IOT cloud interface. I guess I should have known this, but others may have the same problem. It doesnt seem that this step should be necessary, however. Thanks again for a great video and ALL of your great videos!!😃

[@cryzz0n]

Outstanding! Really appreciate you creating and sharing your work. It doesn't "just" happen, represents a lot of work. What are you using to draw your circuit diagrams? Cheers

[@arnoldschmucker9977]

Any recommendations regarding the use of Blynk vs Arduino IoT Cloud?

[@erich7431]

Awesome job as usual. I would be very much interested about your view / comparison with the Blynk IoT service!

[@sogbeydaniel8074]

I was very confused until now. Thanks very much

[@barryallen9117]

I checked your channel yersterday and there was no update from a month, i was really concerned that everything was ok or not.... On other hand i was thinking you are working on a big project so i was exicted for the upcomming video.. Anyway.... glad to have another video....

[@indikaudayasaranga988]

Thank you Sir. Just today I started to learn about I cloud. This helped me so much. Profitable time spent with you.

[@nielderfp]

Great video, thank you. The IoT Cloud looks fantastic, wish I could think of a project to make. The max temperature should be 50c here in Australia.

[@yurkshirelad]

Fantastic video! I wonder how much network traffic the devices require if they need to constantly communicate with the cloud. I don't like that it opens a gateway into your home network and you store your wifi credentials in the cloud.

[@eduincano5370]

Muuy Buen video...saludos desde SPS, HONDURAS.....veo tus videos.

[@matthewfelgate]

Thanks for sharing because it taught me how good the Arduino IOT platform now and how easy it is to use. Plus, great to see a fellow Ubuntu user!

[@school4dad]

How would you go about implementing a way to connect each board without access to IoT platform?

[@tnoutlaw73]

im new to this and am clueless. but i really want to learn this so badly

[@mohammedshkokani9631]

Could you also make more videos on how to connect different sensors as well thank you

[@larry9210]

Do you have any videos that show how the Arduino can monitor an input and send a text or email based on a state change? Really great videos and I finally got my Arduino connected.

[@ToniPlays_]

Before video: "I'll listen to it in the background" After: "IoT the world!"

[@dickdon2631]

dont know what you mean

[@ronaldtroost]

Is it correct that 'a thing' is an complete working subject. So I made more things for more applications?

[@walthermatthau9537]

Excellent detailed explanation!! Thanks very much

[@krupeeta]

Thankyou for your demonstration.😄

[@justinindustries]

I'm having a problem where the esp32 isn't connecting to my network. All the credentials are correct. In the serial monitor it keeps saying that the connection has failed. Great video btw😎👍

[@haissam9999]

Hello Bill, thank you for your excellent tutorial. I have a question thought about the data retention on Arduino IoT Cloud. As I saw, the longest retention is 1 year with the most expensive plan. I want to monitor the water level of my well over many years (20 or more) and I don't want to loose any of my data. Is this still possible with Arduino IoT Cloud? If not, can you suggest another solution? thank you very much

[@walterlippens6675]

Yet another outstanding video. Many thanks Bill for al the efforts you put into this awesome KZbin channel. 👍👍👍

[@billgaytes6845]

Great video so clearly presented. Maybe you cover this in another video, If I built an IoT switch and I took the board to my friends house I would have to enter his ssid and password to make it work. Is there a way to connect to his WiFi by pushing the WPS button on his router ?

[@bobtausworthe]

You didn't really need to use a stand-alone esp32 board the 33 iot has an esp32 embedded inside it (the blox nina w10). It's fun and educational to learn how to program it directly.

[@cartoon-network814]

thank you, amazing video. need more on ESP32

[@durjoypurakayastha6978]

Its really wonderful presentation. Thank you sir❤️

[@paultakoy7091]

Excellent video, Bill, as always. I didn’t know how bad I needed this until I watched this video. Question, you mentioned Blynk in this video. Did you ever get a chance to to a tutorial on Blynk? Just curious since I couldn’t find it. Did I miss it? Keep up the fabulous work!

[@DharmendraKSethi]

This is great Bill, exactly what I was looking for to build my first IoT project.

Can the Arduino IoT cloud be used with using the Scratch programming language? It could be used for teaching purposes, where children would add new sensors and Arduino boards.

[@fillempie1501]

Nice solution. However it's a big vendor lock-in and not free if you want to do some serious stuff the costs pile up.

[@tombouie]

You videos are great but a little hard for the absolute arduino beginners. ?Could you do a short series on arduino & raspberry pi for beginners unfamilar with them or just recommend a few KZbin playlists that meets your quality standards? For example:

[@tonysabarez3790]

Hi Bill and everyone that could provide an input. My question is, can a PWM pin with 3.3 volts output be boosted using a boost converter and the PWM not get affected or will the PWM be affected if I use boost converter to increase the voltage output from 3.3 volts to 9 or even 12 volts? Thank you for all your great tutorials!

[@tjweaver3637]

Great video. I have ordered a Nano 33 IOT and a temperature sensor with the intention of installing it in my shed and connecting to the Arduino Cloud. One thing I am not clear about is the power supply to to Nano. Will I be able to power it using a standard USB power supply?

[@wishicouldarduino8880]

After watching your video on the IoT cloud I order 2 ESP32 controller. Controlling board 2 from board 2 is what I wanted to do. Is there a way to do this without using the IoT Cloud or my router. I projects will be controlling devices and would like to buy pass my router if it is not too much.

[@ianhayden2839]

So if I built a device using the iot, and I left my house to go to the store, could I monitor the device without being connected to my home wifi?
