Arduino MKR1000 & Thinger

A simple Internet of Things experiment, using an Arduino MKR1000 board to control two LEDs and monitor a potentiometer, via Thinger.io.

3. Schematics ??

• Connect your parts to Arduino MKR1000 as the following picture:

Schematics

4. Sketch ?

• Make sure the WiFi101 & Thinger library are installed. Open Arduino IDE then copy the sketch below. Insert your Thinger username, Device ID, Device Credentials, WiFi name and WiFi password. Make sure you have chosen the right option for Board and Port under Tools menu. Upload it!

#define _DISABLE_TLS_
#include <WiFi101.h>
#include <ThingerWifi101.h>
#define USERNAME "your_thinger_username" 
#define DEV_ID "your_device_id" 
#define DEV_CRED "your_device_credential" 
#define SSID "your_wifi_name" 
#define SSID_PASSWORD "your_wifi_password" 
ThingerWifi101 thing(USERNAME, DEV_ID, DEV_CRED);
void setup() {    
    pinMode(0, OUTPUT);    
    thing.add_wifi(SSID, SSID_PASSWORD);    
    thing["led"] << digitalPin(0);    
    thing["led2"] << analogPin(1);    
    thing["pot"] >> outputValue(analogRead(A0));
}
void loop() {    
    thing.handle();
}

5. Set Up Dashboard on Thinger ?

• Go to Dashboards menu & click +Add Dashboard button. Then fill out the forms: Dashboard Id, Dashboard name & Dashboard description, then click Add Dashboard button.

• Go to your dashboard, then create widgets to control and/or monitor your device. On your dashboard click +Add Widget& feel free to use any Thinger’s widgets. On this project, I use:

• On/Off State (to control my LED on/off),

• Slider (to control the brightness of my LED),

• Donut Chart (show my potentiometer value as a gauge), and

• Time Series Chart (show my potentiometer value as a bar graph).

#define _DISABLE_TLS_
#include <WiFi101.h>
#include <ThingerWifi101.h>

#define USERNAME "your_thinger_username"    // Thinger username
#define DEV_ID "your_device_id"             // Thinger device ID
#define DEV_CRED "your_device_credential"   // Thinger device credential

#define SSID "your_wifi_name"               // wifi SSID
#define SSID_PASSWORD "your_wifi_password"  // wifi password

ThingerWifi101 thing(USERNAME, DEV_ID, DEV_CRED);

void setup() {
    pinMode(0, OUTPUT);
    thing.add_wifi(SSID, SSID_PASSWORD);
    thing["led"] << digitalPin(0);
    thing["led2"] << analogPin(1);
    thing["pot"] >> outputValue(analogRead(A0));
}

void loop() {
    thing.handle();
}
