Dears I just purchased the board "Arduino Mega with integrated WIFI ESP8266" and wanted to connect it with the Arduino cloud using the procedure in "set up". It does not work, I can even not find my device on the list of possible devices. I tried bouth options: - looking under Arduino devices and - looking in the map of 3-th suorce devices I got always the message that my device could not be find. Im kindly asking for support. Thanks in advice ---

> [@antonkolaric](#): > > - looking under Arduino devices and > - looking in the map of 3-th suorce devices Sorry I cannot see what you are, can you tell me where are you looking? Where is the map? Is it an Arduino or clone? ---

Welcome to the forum. You should have asked us before you bought it. The "Wemos" Mega + ESP8266 is on Amazon: [https://www.amazon.com/ATmega2560-ESP8266-USB-TTL-Compatible-Arduino/dp/B0CJ7Z6MLH/](https://www.amazon.com/ATmega2560-ESP8266-USB-TTL-Compatible-Arduino/dp/B0CJ7Z6MLH/) Robodyn has also one, it is the same board: [https://robotdyn.com/mega-wifi-r3-atmega2560-esp8266-flash-32mb-usb-ttl-ch340g-micro-usb.html](https://robotdyn.com/mega-wifi-r3-atmega2560-esp8266-flash-32mb-usb-ttl-ch340g-micro-usb.html) I'm afraid that it is not supported by the Arduino Cloud. It is not an Arduino board. I don't understand why someone would design such a board. ---

I think someone answered this before. It is not possible. You can't really program the ESP on the board by itself so it is not really possible. ---

Hi @antonkolaric. As was already well explained by the other forum helpers, your board can not be used as an **Arduino Cloud** [Device](https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cloud/hardware/devices). However, you can still use the [**Arduino Cloud Editor**](https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cloud/guides/cloud-editor) to write all sorts of amazing Arduino sketches and upload them to your board. You just can't use the IoT features of Arduino Cloud (i.e., [Things](https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cloud/cloud-interface/things) and [dashboards](https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cloud/cloud-interface/dashboard-widgets)). You can still do projects using the Wi-Fi communication capability of your board, just not with the use of **Arduino Cloud**'s IoT framework. ---
