Introduction to the Arduino Yun #1

[@slomotrainwreck]

I have a feeling that this series of vids is going to be good, thanks for sharing.

[@jeffkodysz4309]

Great video, very well done. Just a thought... rather than scroll through all the time zones (which you point out as a pain), couldn't you have just left it at UTC, given that London is, in fact on UTC?

[@matthewmuller]

Jeff Kodysz London is now on BST, UTC + 1.

[@jeffkodysz4309]

+Matt Muller Ah, I was not aware of that. Thanks for the info!

[@jlucasound]

What the..I thought London was the very center of the Universe! :-)

[@SsSsSsmiley]

Very nice introduction. There is one question. It's possible to connect Yun with Wifi to one network and with physical Ethernet to other network?

[@christianbegg3265]

Is this the rev 2 of the yun?

[@MikePoirier]

Good job, Julian ! Learning with you is easy !

[@JulianIlett]

Thanks Mike

[@nemadauod359]

Thank you!!! you really helped me getting started with my new Arduino Yun

[@TheJohn93226]

I'm new in the Arduino world, so bear with me, please! Does the Arduino Yún need the Arduino Leonardo, to work, or does the Arduino Yún have its own Linux Machine running inside of it to be to connect to complex web-services directly from the Arduino Yún? Furthermore I know that the Arduino Yún can be programmed over the usb and wifi connection, but can the Arduino Yún be brogrammed over the ethernet cable also? Also does the Arduino Yún have to be powered by the micro usb only or can it be powered by ethernet cable and standard usb cable?

[@siddharthachatterjee2335]

Hi Julian, Nice video. Thanks. Please let me know where you can get that green chequered table mat ? And what is it called so I can search on the Internet.

[@patrickingle5905]

Very good tutorial, bought my first Arduino Yun yesterday, and setup wirelessly. Just need to get a MicroSD card.

[@camohoj]

Two questions first have you done a tutorial on the getting started with Arduino Uno and where or how have you accumulated your seemingly vast knowledge of electronics ? I bought an Arduino Uno must be two years ago and because I didn't get it up and running I just shelved it.

[@MrClover026]

Hello, I want to ask you some questions, If the red light doesnt light in the process,is there anything wrong with yun?? Thank you for your help.

[@ricamaeagoncillo8015]

hiiii, can you please help me? i have to build arduino yun board and i don't have an idea of what exact components should i buy😪😪

[@HighRailmaxx]

it took a little while but your instruction were a big help. doghunter was my linino password instead of Arduino. also I used a Galaxy 6 running on Android for the WiFi hookup.

[@avalon6090]

Hi there. I'm unable to read the Arduino Yun port address, instead shows bluetooth settings, also shows at the bottom connected to my MacBook com1. I will like to use the wireless function of the board to transfer sketches. Can you help? Good tutorials. Thank you.

[@javieruriel]

Great and nice video, I am just a beginner and I don't know to buy a uno or yun, any advice

[@BaoNguyendarkmatter820]

I couldn't get passed the wifi configuration for some reason. When I hit configuration, there was an error message about AJAX... and the YUN disconnected. I tried to look up the problem on Google and it seemed that a lot of people had the same problem. Do you have any suggestions? I've tried to restart the device and repeat the same steps but still can't get my Wifi conf. to work. Thanks!

[@cornessdady]

Try to clear your browser's history, cookies... Or use browser in private mode, if it doesn't work take a look at webserver settings in /etc/httpd or /etc/config/httpd

[@jlucasound]

I've never heard of this, Julian! This is almost 8 years ago. Was it a flop? If it was good, I should be able to find it and it should only cost like, a 5er, right? Well, maybe 25. ;-)

[@orgicus]

Note on the arduino.local option: you need a namespace handling service. As Julian mentioned, Apple has Bonjour, but that can be installed on windows too (either with iTunes or as Bonjour Print Services(support.apple.com/kb/DL999)). On linux you can install the avahi package. Since android os uses a modified linux kernel, that should work if your device is rooted. There should be a solution for Android but I don't know of any yet. Feel free to post one here if you know

[@allopez13]

Wireless port is not appearing in IDE. Wireless is connected, but no port appears when i disconnect the usb cable.

[@nsyd-jf6qt]

what is the different between arduino uno and arduino yun? can you please help? 😊

[@jordan2738]

Do you plan to purchase a proper screen recorder with your channels growing popularity? I love the videos, but I often get nausea from the way that you are recording your screen. Anyways, keep up the good work!

[@tobortine]

I had the same thought, very cool but £55 worth of cool ? I'm now going to watch part 2 :-)

[@IfItAintBrokeStillFixIt]

hi, can you tell us more about your mobile power bank. looks usefull

[@JulianIlett]

I did a review on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ28oGyIbJ2bhM0

[@ragupathy84]

can can some one help ........ i am using yun shield for first time. new to ardunio. I am getting below message . avrdude: error: AVR device not responding avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1 Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override this check. /usr/bin/run-avrdude: line 65: can't open /tmp/efuse: no such file avrdude: error: AVR device not responding avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1 Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override this check. can some one help.

[@jacgeo9887]

I have bought three Yun for a High school project. AM having difficultly connecting it to a network at home or at school. First, the Interface to make those connections is totally different to what the Arduino site explains it as. I even get an Error AJAX.../0 reading. Can anyone help?

[@cornessdady]

You must have a linino/doghunter version, with a white theme Gui. Password is "doghunter", for the ajax error, try to clean browser cache ( history, cookies...) Or use private mode in your browser. It solve me some mistakes. Else take a look at /etc/uhttpd or /etc/config/uhttpd to see how the webserver is set.

[@psp10004]

Oh my... you make one excellent 'salesman' by not really being one. I gotta get myself one of those

[@danielgrace4805]

I set up the wifi part to my router and it will not let me connect via arduino 1.5.8 but it will connect threw ip address that it was assigned.

[@nicholasnoproblem]

This reminds me of Beaglebone Green Wireless now :)

[@Intike18]

what about SPARK CORE, is arduino + wifi for $39.

[@JulianIlett]

Looks interesting - breadboard friendly too!

[@Intike18]

and very small too, they just started shipping their second batch, so i will just wait mine :)

[@EspenLodden]

I have two spark cores and they do things quite a bit more elegant than what we see with the Yun here. Only issue so far has been that not all Arduino libraries are available. But they are porting things rapidly. Haven't touched my Arduinos since i got my sparks :)

[@orgicus]

I've worked with a Spark before and it's pretty cool. The Spark Cloud service is very nice as well, but here are a few things the Yun can do which can not: 1. generate it's own wifi hotspot (spark totally depends on one being there and you still need a usb cable if there is no wifi, but you can keep all in a WAN with no internet on the yun). 2. You've actually got a computer in there (400MHz MIPS CPU, 64MB RAM, 16MB internal storage and can extend with microSD card+and USB host port) and this even bigger: you've got python preinstalled and a package manager so can do quite a bit of number crunching where the MCU can have a limit, you still have the MCU for the realtime stuff and you can plug things via USB (I've tested a cheap usb soundcard and I've seen webcams connected to it as well). Long story short, the Yun it more powerful/flexible. On the other side the Spark has a very nice form factor and is super easy to get start with. If you're missing Spark Cloud on yun you can use Temboo or why not setup a python web socket server. In conclusion I would say both have they pros and cons, but it's up to you and the scope of the project you plan to use one of these to pick the best for the job (form factor, processing power, connectivity, ease of use/development time,etc.)

[@AlvaroSaburido]

Excelent videotutorial, i only can recommend you to use Camtasia Studio to screencast the activity you do on your computer to get better quality, my best!

[@michgingras]

tablet ?!

[@sirron2929]

Download iTunes. It comes with Bonjour, meaning you'll be able to use arduino.local from Windows.

[@javieruriel]

I think I miss something I can see the port in my panel.

[@asadfaizi]

Thank you - it was very helpful

[@reddragon27284]

Good choice in router, have 35 of those running solid for 3 years linking our shops back to HQ for EPOS over a VPN. They haven't skipped a beat. (Except one but that was the result of a flood). :)

[@JulianIlett]

I've been using Draytek routers since signing up with Zen Internet. Both totally reliable.

[@navi-charlotte]

hi, for the arduino.local to work you only need to set up avahi in the system you are using to connect to the yun.

[@binaltach]

Hi there, I am having trouble running Arduino IDE 1.5.6 on Mac OS X 10.5.8. Anyone managed to get it working ? Thank you,

[@mattdathew2794]

got a new sub

[@pauldusa]

Hello Jillian,, you forgot to mention you need a micro to micro cable , as you did go from your yun to your tablet, cheerio .

[@michgingras]

yea we all know that ! Huuray for the Arduino ! hip hip hips !

[@lezbriddon]

emmm... if they do a yun2560 for like 30 quid, would be worth a punt, until then..

[@monasterydreams]

Thanks, very straightforward. You can use the web editor now create.arduino.cc

[@eglintonflats]

I am surprised that you do not grasp basic notion that video made by waving a cheap phone camera around, is unwatchable

[@DoctorHver]

I fucking Loathe arduino.

[@Mrspiderman20014]

DoctorHver why?
