Arduino Cloud not wanting to add device

Hi, I have am trying to add a device to my arduino cloud. I have everything plugged in and I select my board, when it is ready to configure I press continue. It will load for a little bit and then stops and nothing happens. Please Help me

What is your device?

I have an arduino nano and Uno R3 and both will not connect

Hi @1020obot. The classic Nano and UNO R3 boards are not supported for use as an Arduino Cloud IoT Device.

The "I" in "IoT" stands for "Internet". Network communication capability is a fundamental requirement for all "IoT" devices. The Nano and UNO R3 do not have such a capability.

You can learn which boards are supported from this section of the Arduino Cloud documentation:

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

A good choice for an IoT-compatible board in the Nano form factor is the Nano ESP32.

A good choice for an IoT-compatible board in the UNO form factor is the UNO R4 WiFi.


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 sketches with the Nano and UNO R3 boards:

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

Although these boards are not well suited for use in IoT applications, they are excellent for use in other projects and the Arduino community has created amazing things with these boards. So even if you decide to buy additional boards for use in your IoT projects, I'm certain you will still find great uses for your current boards.

Thanks for that info

You are welcome. I'm glad if I was able to be of assistance.
