Hi! I've just bought an Arduino UNO R4 WiFi and I'd like to use it with IoT Cloud. Unfortunately, when I try to add the device, something goes wrong. At first, it sees the device and I insert the WiFi information, but then appears the error "We were not able to create the IoT Blink controller system". The Cloud Agent is running, and only the device is connected to the PC. I've also switched off the Bluetooth because with Arduino UNO and IDE it sometimes causes problems. Then, I've also tried to change the cable and the port, but nothing changes.
Hi @iridargyros. I apologize for any inconvenience this bug has caused you. Hopefully the Arduino Cloud developers will fix it soon.
This bug means that it is not currently possible to use this "Getting Started" feature of Arduino Cloud. That is unfortunate, but it is not a show stopper. "Getting Started" is only intended to provide general overview of using Arduino Cloud and is completely optional. You should be able to use any of the real Arduino Cloud features without any problems.
So just forget about the "Getting Started" and start working on your real project in Arduino Cloud. If you have any questions or problems while doing that, just let us know and we'll provide assistance.
Ok, thank you for your support!
I need to solve another problem. I'm trying to do a simple test to verify everything's ok. I've created a project to switch on/off a light, so I made a variable and added a Switch to the dashboard, connecting it to the variable. Anyway, when I'm trying to rename the sketch into the variable, it's not possible. Is there a way to solve it? Because at this moment the code is verified and uploaded, but the switch doesn't work, and I think it's because of the wrong name of the sketch.
Hello again. I'm sorry I didn't notice your reply until now.
You can't rename the primary sketch file because it is named according to the Thing name. You can rename the Thing though. From looking at your screenshot, it appears you already renamed the Thing from "Untitled" to "TestLightOnOff". I see that the sketch is still named "Untitled_..." though. I think this happens when you rename the Thing while the "</> Sketch" tab of the Thing page is selected. This glitches out Arduino Cloud because it isn't smart enough to rename the sketch while you have it open in Cloud Editor.
I've found that it will work as expected if you select the "
Setup" tab of the Thing page before renaming the Thing. I'll provide instructions for doing that to make sure the procedure is clear:
- If it is not already open, open the Thing in Arduino Cloud.
- Select the " Setup" tab of the Thing page.
- Click the ▼ icon to the right of the Thing name near the top right corner of the Arduino Cloud page.
A menu will open. - Select "Rename" from the menu.
The "Rename Thing" dialog will open. - Type the new name of the Thing in the "Name" field of the dialog.
- Click the "RENAME" button.
The dialog will close and the Thing name will be updated.
Now if you select the "</> Sketch" tab of the Thing page, you should see that the primary file of the sketch has been renamed to reflect the Thing name change.
