Adding Arduino as device in arduino clod

Development Tools Cloud IoT
1

Tried all possible ways to ensure my arduino cloud is connected to my cloud ide but to no avail. I'm getting this error

"We could not find any Arduino device
Please try to:
Restart the Create Agent on the computer.
Reconnect the device to the computer with another USB cable and make sure the power LED lights up.
Reset your device
"

Despite having create agent installed, Light from the board turning on, and reserring my device.Watched several youtube videos and I'm still unable to resolve it.

I moved your topic to an appropriate forum category @868muhammad-ademola.

In the future, please take some time to pick the forum category that best suits the subject of your topic. There is an "About the _____ category" topic at the top of each category that explains its purpose.

This is an important part of responsible forum usage, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. The guide contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Hi @868muhammad-ademola. Please add a reply here on this forum thread to tell us which Arduino board you are using.

Please be as specific as possible as some Arduino boards with similar names have significant differences and the forum helpers can only provide effective assistance if we are aware of which one is being used.

If you aren't sure how to describe which board you are using, you can provide the link to the online product listing you bought the board from and we'll proceed based on the information found there.

Initially used esp32(esp-wroom-32) but i realised my device wasn't online,i.e isn't available for upload.

Then i switched to Arduino uno, my device is still not connecting to my Arduino cloud

OK, then the result is expected. Arduino Cloud's IoT features can only be used with certain boards that have network connectivity. The Uno board doesn't have network connectivity, so you can't use it an Arduino Cloud IoT Device.

The supported boards are documented here:

https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cloud/guides/overview/#compatible-boards

Please note that, although you can't use it with the IoT component of the Arduino Cloud platform, you can use the Arduino Cloud Editor component to create, compile, and upload non-IoT sketches with the Uno board:

https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cloud/guides/cloud-editor/

The ESP32-based boards are supported for use as Arduino Cloud IoT Devices.

By "online", are you referring to the Device status?

If so, that doesn't prevent you from uploading to the board. Although "online" status is required in order to use the Arduino Cloud IoT OTA upload feature, you can always connect the ESP32 board to your computer with a USB cable and then perform a normal upload to the board via the serial port.
