Hi
Just started playing with this cloud stuff .
Doesn’t seem to be mentioned , but on the free version I seem to be limited to 5 linked variables .
If I have 2 dashboards will I be able to link another 5?
And … can I have two dashboards linked to one device ( nano 33 IOT) ?
Hi,
The free plan limits you to 2 Things (devices) and each thing is limited to 5 variables. In regards to the dashboard, you can have two dashboards linked to one device; however, you will still get the same 5 variables so you're essentially just creating a duplicate dashboard.
Have a look at the Arduino Cloud plans and their limitations per category here.
I never used cloud but for 8 variable's you can use 1 variable as a switch between data types
I’m just playing about so don’t want to get into subscriptions ( at all really ).
I’ll try switching between variable groups , if I can work that one out ( same named variable , but switch with another to get that one ( or 4) variable two functions ?)
Like this (i used this trick in excel before i was on the forum)
D5=0
D1 TRUE
D2 HIGH
D3 LOW
D4 1
D5=1
D1 "HELLO"
D2 255
D3 65535
D4 'A'
Only just got around to this.... The problem is I can't find any logical statements for the Dashboard end to "see" which variable set has been selected and adjust the display accordingly to display the alternate data set.
I guess I could use a dashboard switch to ask in the call back to change the data set , but that would mess up any trend graph (for example) as the linked variable (eg D2 in the prev post) still connects with the same "thing/widget" on the dashboard.
i cant help you with it,
but maybe a little like
char to integer by its ascii number
reverse by sending a unsigned 8 bit number
string to char by sending it left to right with 1000ms delay
char to string by single charcter on string... find ways
Thx for the reply anyway !
