Introduction to the Arduino Yun #2

[@tomgruenke3048]

I am "Brand" new to this. I have purchased about every Arduino board, along with the Raspberry PI+, and played around with all of them. This was my first attempt with the Yun, and after watching your video 5 times, along with pauses to configure my Yun, I have everything working, and modified for my own experimenting. I have been a CNC tech for the past 18 years and enjoy electro-mechanical devices. Your presentation was perfect. Detailed with EVERY step needed to make it work. After watching hundreds of videos on many topics, it takes a certain person to be able to "explain" and teach. In my opinion, you are one of the best. After using all of the boards that I had purchased so far, each has it's uses for specific tasks. I find the Yun to be the most versatile, along with easy to use for I/O, both digital and analog, along with networking with multiple ports. After servicing and replacing basic I/O modules on equipment with usually a cost of $1,200, I don't have a problem with the cost of the Yun. It is capable of doing much more than a replacement module, with very little "tweaking" Thank you so much for the great tutorial.

Tom Gruenke Thanks Tom, kind comments. Very much appreciated.

Despite my background in electronics and software it would have taken me much longer to begin to successfully use my recently acquired Yun. Your #1 and #2 video tutorials were very well done and saved me countless hours, and frustration. Thank you for sharing them with us. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

[@darrendouglaslee8936]

Fantastic intro. I was a little lost on how the wireless connection to set things up work. This intro as made it perfectly clear - thanks! I look forward to anything else you produce related to your efforts with the YUN.

[@apcarlson1]

excellent tutorial, clear , concise and well recorded. I like the cookbook approach to getting started and this video series fits that description very well. keep up good work.. BTW in 20 minutes I had a world wide web link to the Yun on my desk through VPN on work computer!

[@IlluminatedWhiteGuy]

I'm so glad I found your channel! I've learned so much over the last 4 hours of your videos straight I feel like I owe you money. I've always wanted to remote automate and monitor my aquaponics setup and this seems to be the golden ticket for just that. Seems this would even be able to tweet twitter alerts and statuses with a little effort on my end. 90% of the fun is figuring out the solutions. Anyway, I'm subbed for life and thanks again for sharing your wealth of know how.

[@MetalImpulses]

I would like to thank you for introducing the capabilities of the Arduino Yun to me. Keep up the good work.

[@alanpowell328]

Just ordered a Yun based on these videos - I'm looking forward to using it.

[@subwater911]

Can't wait for more tutorials for the Yun!! Keep em comin'

[@mfreyne]

Julian, great video instruction, any possibility of doing an instruction on how the browser commands can be patched through the router?

[@andrewpepper1]

Fantastic !!! Very well presented, very easy to follow this is how all youtube videos should be !!! Keep up the excellent work, I will be following Many thanks

[@JerryEricsson]

Nice to run into these older videos, they were quit good, I had never seen this one, at least I don't recall seeing it, i am getting a bit up in age now and the meds that the doctors keep pumping into my aging frame do make my head a bit cloudy. I had thought about getting one of these but for that price I can get several Orange PI computers that run Linux and some come with built in Wifi and Bluetooth. While they are not as well developed as the Yun they are much more in my price range. Having just returned from out Winter diggs in Arizona only to find Winter still blowing and snowing like mid December here in the Dakota's I find that unpacking our RV and getting my toys will have to wait till the teps get above freezing before I can be reunited with my toys.

[@karimismail3734]

As usual Julian we thank you for your detailed Video.

[@qwertasd7]

Great video !! I have 2 questions, you can read out and set pins, can you also read and set sketch variables ? And is it possible to change the look and feel of the web pages (for example remove arduino icons, and change colors) ?.

[@opeyemiolalere3232]

Hi Julian! I am a postgraduate researcher and working on monitoring some parameters remotely using Arduino Yun. I have tried configuring my Yun following the tutorial and I found it interesting and insightful. Are there any more tutorial videos that could be of help and possibly any mentoring from you? Thanks

[@paphaju1]

It was awesome, I've never known such a good thing the Yún is ! Thanks a lot I'm sure I'm going to buy one.

[@joohop]

looks great for security apps julian very clever

[@branjalink]

please make a part 3!!

[@illiteratebeef]

Hello Julian, I wanted to see if you've done anything else with your Yun. I bought one shortly after you released these videos, but I haven't been able to make anything useful with it. I was hoping you had better luck than me. Thanks for all the great videos you put out.

[@elgs1980]

At about 7:57, will linking A0 directly to the ground destroy A0?

[@asagk]

When it comes to the leonardo side of the yun, I already guess what to expect. But I am wondering about the linino part. Is there stuff like sshd running and some shell like bash/sh/ksh, so a login via putty is possible and more stuff can be done via the linux side? Or is it just some pre configured stuff that allows some preset things but no else? Are you going to do some more about the apects of the linux side as well in the future? Detailed informations about the linino seem to be kind of sparse at this time for the YUN as well as for the TIAN board. Apart from that, thank you very much for this first impression about the YUN!

[@romankysely]

Nice and very clear intro. thx Julian

[@johnstephenson2891]

I know this is a VERY old video, but have looked at the Iduino Yun Shields? I just ordered two at

[@tobortine]

Great video, really enjoyed it. Do please do more about the features of the YUN. Whilst it's very slick the essence of what it's doing can be achieved in many ways with a conventional Arduino or indeed an ATMEL chip. Of course that doesn't detract from it's accessibility which is what Arduino has always been about. If it comes down in price (which it will) I might be tempted.

[@michael-gary-scott]

OMG! NO WAY!

[@tobortine]

Michael Scott lol. I suspect we have similar taste in KZbin videos :-)

[@FedericoFissoreSofwareEngineer]

Very nice videos: simple and comprehensive

[@avalon6090]

Hi. Could it be possible to do videos with the Arduino Yun talking to the IPad or IPhone. Also working with LabView. Good show.

[@johncongerton2725]

Wonderful clarity thanks Julian

[@steftsak]

Nice video, How much time can you run the arduino yun on battery power?

[@andymouse]

HiThis two part tutorial really fired me up so thanks for that, Your approach made total sense please can we have some more "YUN" stuff. In fact I like all of ya work ! Ok enough flattery Oh cant stop myself ! how about a YUN for under £10 like ya did with the UNO ? also will keep checking what ya are and have been up to but would like to use valves "tubes" in projects any pointers in that direction? I like the idea of the " ice tube clock" but I see it has been discontinued ....shame!. However keep up the good work and if ya down the south east I'll get the beers in! Oh! yeah loads more Arduino please!

[@thabisoedwintjatjie5339]

Sir I'm woking on a project that uses solar power to charge laptops for students so I've decided to get an Arduino micro-controller + coin acceptor + a board of 8 relays, so I want to make sure that when a student insert a coin to the coin acceptor, the coin acceptor will send a pulse to the Arduino and the Arduino will active the relay for a certain period in order to allow the student to charge his/her laptop for that period. So how can I link/connect the coin acceptor to the Arduino such that the relay activates when someone insert a coin to the coin acceptor? Please help me, if possible give me the codes for this operation

[@areebanjum2135]

Could you do more tutorials on the yun, these video's have been great.

[@hildanunes5552]

sir, is linking up a wifi module and a ethrenet sheild to a arduino uno r3 make it a Arduino Yun?

[@mayanksingh5375]

Thx for the Video. I was working on a project with Arduino Uno R3, and it gave me a hint for my University Project. :D

[@sumanjha1951]

Thank you for making great tutorial, i learned a lot from here. I followed everything what you told, but not able to browse web page on browser, it gives error "No such files or directory". In putty SSH window i am able to all necessary files in path (/mnt/sda1/arduino/www/YUNtest) . Mine YUN Arduino OS version 2.03 .Please help me

[@JohnKnutsson]

First thank for all your videos Julian. I watch them all. Regarding this one, you can get two raspberry pi for the price of the yun. Have you ever tried a pi?

[@JulianIlett]

Thanks John. Yes I have a Pi, but I've not really done anything with it. The tutorials seemed to focus on writing Python and playing games. It seemed you had to jump through hoops to control the I/O pins - not sure if that's been made any easier now.

[@david_pilling]

Thanks for the videos, wiringpi makes programming the Pi gpio like Arduino.

[@fsouzajr]

Julian Ilett thats exactly right... for something like this, to compare the two: the pi comes with nothing.. you have to buy a SD, wifi dongle and then, install an OS, additional packages/libraries, configure everything. All said and done youll have to know: - disk partitioning, linux permissions and directory structure & package system - how a webserver works, how REST works, how to install and configure databases/scripting & programing languages - choose, install and configure a remote webserver administration and then stitch everything together to make it work in a rather very unfriendly way.

[@MaulikDudharejia]

Hi, Thanks to guid. But i have one query that it gives true response for only single pin. its not giving true response for all pin after making it high and low. Please guide me if you have solution thanks

[@dhruvnayak1079]

Yun is connected to internet or to a local server???

[@avalon6090]

Can we use the IPad to control pins in the Arduino from the Internet? Thank you for your answer.

[@michael-gary-scott]

Yip :)

[@pawelrsw2625]

Great video, but... Are you sure you can control LED light of your Arduino YUN every where in the world just by using "192.168.1.xxx/arduino/digital/13/" address? I am pretty sure we all have similar network address called "192.168.1.xxx" for any device - so do I - and only last digit may be different depending on the amount of connected devices. I think you can use that address only in your home... My question is what is the real way to control your arduino from different location - just started looking for the answer but maybe somebody knows something already and can help or just share some experience. Sorry for any grammar mistakes....

[@MC_HANDROLLED]

+Pawel RSW No, you definitely couldn't using that URL. You would have to use some method of remotely accessing your home network and then communicating with its local IP address.

[@himselfe]

And now you can get an ESP8266 based NodeMCU dev board for around £5 and program it from the Arduino IDE!

[@michael-gary-scott]

I want one. However, I'm not paying $135 NZD to buy one... :(

[@lagman8908]

Shaky camera and LCD pixel lines are annoying. Can you use an image capture software instead of filming your LCD?

[@JulianIlett]

I take your point. At the moment I have more ideas than time, so I don't spend much time editing. At some point in the future I hope to do this professionally - then I can take more time with production quality.

[@lagman8908]

I understand. What you could do for now is at least use a tripod when filming the LCD. Pixel lines + shaky makes me dizzy :S But as always I enjoyed the video very much! Keep them coming. :)

[@lagman8908]

Ahah. Of course, but It´s an easy thing to improve. And it really made me sick. :) I loved the video nonetheless.

[@nightshadelenar]

this is interesting, i have been wanting to see how this works since i have found out about this, but i was not able to spend the 399.99 USD to get it, it is still over 100 USD now 3 years later.

[@christopherguy1217]

Couldn't you do more for less with a Raspberry Pi 3? At £55 you could get a Pi and have £20 left over for other things. Also isn't the Pi a much more powerful board with quad core 1 GB ram, WiFi and Bluetooth not to mention 4 USB ports. I don't see the advantage of a Yun, perhaps you could explain the advantages.

[@XxfieryfirexX]

Its got an ADC. RPI doesnt

[@deangreenhough3479]

well explained as usual

[@morphy125]

Nice video.

[@jlghardy]

Most helpful- thank you

[@stevec2196]

If an Arduino only cost about $4 and a Wi-Fi module costs $22 then why does the combination cost $79?

[@NaifAlqahtani]

it includes ethernet and sd and many more...

[@stevec2196]

+mwnllt “Naif Alq” It's a SCAM! You can buy a Raspberry Pi that has all those things and a better processor for half as much!

[@NaifAlqahtani]

Yup but did you see the way of programming that thing. It was harder

[@NaifAlqahtani]

*its way harder. Thats what I meant

[@JATTI_]

More maybe?

[@jarrellestes1793]

GREAT, I LIKE IT!!

[@ddvidi]

Thanks!! Very nice! :)

[@mattdathew2794]

i am buying a yun
