This article will guide you when adding official Arduino boards to the Arduino IoT Cloud.
Requirements
- Arduino Cloud supported boards
- Data USB cable to connect the board to the computer
- Arduino account
Steps
-
Go to the IoT Cloud.
-
Sign in to your account.
-
On top of the page select
Devices
.
- Click on
Add Device
tab.
- Select the
Set up an Arduino device
section in the pop-up window. The setup process will start as soon as you click it.
- Once the board is detected by the computer and the cloud, the
Configure
button will be enabled, press it to continue.
- Give a name to the device (you can keep the random name or you can provide a personalized one), then click
Next
to start the routine.
-
Wait until the setup routine is finished.
If you do not have the Arduino Create agent installed, you will be asked to download and install it; since without it, the IoT cloud cannot detect if your board is connected to the computer.
- The setup is complete! Press
Done
.
You will now be able to see your board under the Devices
section.
Troubleshooting
In case you have any issues configuring your board, you can try the following:
- Make sure you are using a Data USB cable
- Try pressing the reset button on the board before starting the "Add device" routine.
- Try doing a quick double tap of the reset button to get the board to bootloader mode.
- If you are using a USB Hub for connection, try directly connecting the board to the computer.
- Make sure that there is no other IDE or Web editor open in your computer.
