Story
The idea is to test the power and the possibilities with the Arduino MKR1000 and also the tool “Evothing Studio” in order to make a quick app for a smart phone, in this case iPhone SE. It began during the events in Bogota with the HacksterLive team.
Using the Serial Monitor in Arduino IDE, it monitors the set up and status.
Here some screen shoots of the app:
Schematics
Arduino MKR1000 and Pin 6
The Arduino MKR1000 has a test LED on pin 6, it was used for this work

Code
MRR1000
Arduino
It uses the libs SPI and Wifi101 availables in Arduino IDE. The main idea is to set up a WiFi connection and monitoring the status using the “serial monitor”, as option there is the code to make a analog read in port A1
#include <SPI.h> #include <WiFi101.h> // Setup WIFI char ssid[] = "xx"; // your network SSID (name) char pass[] = "xx"; // your network password int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS; WiFiServer server(80); //int keyIndex = 0; // your network key Index number (needed only for WEP) //Setup your inputs and/or outputs int ledPin = 6; //Setup general variables int val = 0; int val_AnalogIn_A = 0; int var = 0; //Main setup section void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // initialize serial communication delay(5000); //Setup start Serial.println("Setup Start, wait..."); //setup input and output pins, this case is for Arduino MKR1000 pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); pinMode(A1, INPUT); pinMode(A2, INPUT); // attempt to connect to Wifi network: while ( status != WL_CONNECTED) { Serial.print("Attempting to connect to Network named: "); Serial.println(ssid); // print the network name (SSID); // Connect to WPA/WPA2 network. Change this line if using open or WEP network: status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass); // wait 10 seconds for connection: delay(10000); } server.begin(); // start the web server on port 80 printWifiStatus(); // you're connected now, so print out the status } void loop(void) { //in case you have sensors connected to Analog Input (A1 and A2) here will be read and send to the serial monitor. read_Analog_input(); // Check if module is still connected to WiFi. if (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) { while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) { } } WiFiClient client = server.available(); if (client) { Serial.println("Client connected."); while (client.connected()) { if (client.available()) { char command = client.read(); if (command == 'H') { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); Serial.println("LED is now on."); } else if (command == 'L') { digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); Serial.println("LED is now off."); } } } Serial.println("Client disconnected."); client.stop(); } } void printWifiStatus() { // print the SSID of the network you're attached to: Serial.print("SSID: "); Serial.println(WiFi.SSID()); // print your WiFi shield's IP address: IPAddress ip = WiFi.localIP(); Serial.print("IP Address: "); Serial.println(ip); // print the received signal strength: long rssi = WiFi.RSSI(); Serial.print("signal strength (RSSI):"); Serial.println("it means:"); Serial.println("-30 dBm Amazing"); Serial.println("-67 dBm Very Good"); Serial.println("-70 dBm Okay"); Serial.println("-80 dBm Not Good"); Serial.print(rssi); Serial.println(" dBm, now we have!!!"); // print where to go in a browser: Serial.print("To see the app in action, use IP-Address in your Phone app GUI: "); Serial.println(ip); delay(10000); } void read_Analog_input() { while(var < 10) { if (var == 0) { Serial.println("In case to have sensors here are printed the Values in Analog Input"); } // do something repetitive x times val_AnalogIn_A = analogRead(A1); Serial.print("Analog In A1 :"); Serial.println(val_AnalogIn_A); delay(100); var++; } }
Evothing Studio Example
It is based in example from Evothings Studio for the ESP8266, and modified to have the MKR1000 running
Using Evothings Studio, create a app in order to blink a LED on MKR1000 Arduino Board, to learn about IoT — Read More
