Hi there friends!
Currently I’m working on a project where I am collecting light sensor readings to my Arduino and this information is displayed onto the serial monitor from the IDE. Is it possible to get this information onto a web-based page?
Are there any projects like this? I’m having a really tough time finding anything that uses the Arduino Uno Wifi Rev2.
The first thing to note is that you don't need to search specifically for projects using the Uno WiFi Rev2. The Uno WiFi Rev2 uses the same WiFiNINA library as the MKR WiFi 1010 and Nano 33 IoT, so most networking projects you find that use the WiFiNINA library will also work on your Uno WiFi Rev2.
The WiFiNINA library uses the API established by the Arduino WiFi library, and even has a close interface to the Arduino Ethernet library and the ESP8266WiFi library. So even if you find a project using one of those libraries, you should be able to adapt it to the Uno WiFi Rev2.
From your description of what you want to accomplish, the File > Examples > WiFiNINA > WiFiWebServer example sketch sounds like it would be very close to what you need. There is a tutorial that accompanies it:
You mention the term "GUI" in the title, yet in your post you don't describe anything that could be considered a "GUI" (graphical user interface). If the WiFiWebServer doesn't provide what you're looking for, you'll need to provide a more detailed description of your goal so we can give better advice.
Thanks for that detailed explanation! I’m still so new to Arduino so it’s been a pretty steep uphill learning experience!
What I’m trying to accomplish is having my real-time data from my sensor displayed onto my web-based GUI.
This GUI could be extremely generic I suppose. One box that displays current lux readings. And then just a button to turn on the LED array and one to turn off.
At the bottom of the below tutorial there are examples of "refreshing" web pages that can display data from an arduino style web server. Plenty of examples available of putting control buttons in web pages.
Update:
I managed to get a webpage where I can turn on/off LED on a webpage using “buttons” though they’re pretty much just hyperlinks.
I’m curious as to whether or not I can enable “fading” of the LEDs using this type of method?
