Linking ESP32 to Arduino IoT Cloud

Development Tools Cloud IoT
1
  1. I want to control a dashboard in the Arduino IoT cloud from the Arduino App on a smartphone.
  2. I want the data in the dashboard to link to an ESP32 microcontroller (a firebeetle).
  3. The firebeetle will then control some peripherals using this data.

Step 1 is fine.

My code for Step 3 is written using the Arduino IoT online coding platform, and I think I have complied properly with the automatically generated code which has incorporated the variables that I have specified.

But Step 2 is giving me problems -- I cannot get the microcontroller ‘online’ in order to complete the development of The Arduino code for Step 3.

I believe I have correctly associated the controller with the Thing. I think I have specified the network properly with
• the WiFi Name
• the WifiPassword
• the controller’s Secret Key,
but the Status for the controller remains ‘Offline’.

I had assumed my configuration meant that the controller would become ‘Online’.

Am I missing something?

For informed help, please read and follow the instructions in the "How to get the best out of this forum" post.

Post the code and error messages, using code tags, and describe what you expected to happen, and what happened instead.

Hi @AShepherd,
are you using the online editor or the desktop ide? In orded to make it work on the desktop ide you need also to configure the correct board_id.

Would you share the serial monitor output so we can check if there is any error during the connection process?
