Hi, I am thinking about how to send the data from an ultrasonic distance sensor to Arduino Cloud to show data on Arduino Cloud dashboard wirelessly(no wire btw the computer and the sensor). What module should I use thx!
I moved your question to the IOT cloud category as it feels it's more relavant there.
to your question that's the basic principle of IOT. you have a device composed of sensors and a microcontroller connected to the cloud and the microcontroller reads the sensors' values and report that to the cloud thanks to the Internet connection.
➜ to know which devices are supported by the Arduino cloud, look at the documentation and the devices section
they state
Currently, the following device types are supported:
- Wi-Fi® with encryption through on-board crypto chip
- Wi-Fi® through ESP32 with user credentials
- LoRaWAN®
- Ethernet
- Cellular (GSM / NB-IoT)
- Manual (Python, MicroPython, JavaScript)
and say also
- Arduino Wi-Fi® devices - official Arduino devices with a Wi-Fi® enabled module.
- Arduino LoRaWAN® devices - official Arduino devices with a LoRaWAN® module.
- Third-party ESP32/ESP8266 devices - third party devices with an ESP32/ESP8266 SoC.
- Manual devices - a virtual device using MicroPython, Python or JavaScript. These devices do not have a sketch associated.
