I've only just gotten into Arduino so still getting my head around it!!!
For my university project, I am designing a product for use in Aviation which can make ground handling safer. I was hoping to get the Arduino to complete a checklist that was displayed on my iPad. Not sure if I'd be able to do this. I was hoping I could use the Webserver feature but looks as if its only useful for turning components on and off. Not sure if a Raspberry Pi would've been better for this...I'm hoping not!
Within reason a webserver running on a suitable Arduino compatible board can host any kind of web page. It all depends on how good you are a writing HTML code. What level of skill do you have in that area ?
Thanks for getting back so quickly...made a HTML in School but that was a fair few years ago! Could always give it a go. I was hoping to get an RFID tag and then when I move something in the correct location it checks it off the checklist. Again, not sure if it would work.
You could certainly cause a web page to be updated by reading an RFID tag but you will need to write the HTML code for the page. The Arduino will only publish what you tell it to
Hi @jakedidcote01 , an option you can consider is using the Arduino Cloud. This service allows you to stream the value of your variables on the Arduino to the Arduino Cloud. You can then create a dashboard with a number of widgets (check list is not one of them, but you can get creative). This dashboard is then accessible via the IoT Remote App.
The good thing here is that the dashboard is accessible from anywhere in the world.
All of the networking is automatically handled, so it is a very straightforward approach suitable for any level of experience.
BTW, here is also a guide on how to connect a JavaScript program to the Arduino Cloud. This is a bit more advanced however and requires some knowledge on how to use node.js.
Otherwise, creating a webserver like suggested is also a really good approach. There are many good options!
