Is the Adafruit Feather MO WIFI board compatible with the Aruduino IO?
Thanks.
What do you mean by Arduino IO? Do you mean the Arduino IDE? Yes, the board is compatible with the Arduino IDE. But I would ask, why are you choosing to use this board? I would suggest using a board like the ESP32S2 feather. The wifi functions are going to be MUCH easier to work with, the board will be about 3 times as fast and it costs 1/3 of the M0 (M-Zero) Feather. For the M0 wifi feather you have to deal with the M0 chip talking to the WiFi chip. In the ESP32, WiFi is built into the chip.
Sorry for the confusion. I meant to say the 'Arduino Cloud'.
I think you have answered my question about the Adafruit MO WIFI board. In my current project this board works perfectly. I could not be happier with how this board performs. However, the Arduino Cloud, I believe, has an iPhone app that allows reviewing of cloud dashboards. Unfortunately, Adafruit does not offer such an app and that is why I am looking to switch over to the Arduino Cloud.
The Adafruit IO works very well for me, but when I learned that Arduino offered an app to go with the Arduino Cloud, that made me thint that this would be invaluable asset to have.
The Feather MO WIFI is an 2.4Ghz board so it should work with the Arduino Cloud. I do in fact have several of the Feather ESP32 Feather V2's, which has the same form factor and these would work as well for my current project. To be clear, speed is not important. In fact, I make extensive use of the mills() function the sample 15k-30k ms as opposed to very loop() cycle.
Thanks for your help.
It isn't the Arduino Cloud or Adafruit IO that are the concern. Those two systems are just using http web-calls to receive data. You could use them with any board you wanted to. The question you need to ask is what library are you using to access those two services in your sketch.
But you don't need an iPhone app to access dashboard on Adafruit IO, you can do so from any web browser. On your phone or on your PC.
All the rest of your considerations have nothing to do with the board your are selecting.
Thank you, once again, for your very informative feedback.
Since my last post I have gained a bit more knowledge. First of all, being able to share dashboards is fundamental to my current project. Arduino Cloud does not allow this on their Free plan.
Secondly, after much iPhone trial and error I have finally figured out how to access my dashboard on Adafruit's IO.
I am now good to go. I sincerely appreciate your help and insight.
