ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi,

I want to share with you my first blog post ever and it's about how to connect to ESP8266 to AWS IoT. I have followed a lot of examples and it took me quite some time to achieve a successful connection. So this blog post details the steps you need to take to get this working quickly. It would be great if this could help someone else

If you read it, it would be awesome if you could share your feedback! This is my first blog post and I would appreciate some comments so I could get better at this!

Hello Raph,
I read your post it was very informative.
I am trying something with my ESP8266 and I am a novice when it comes to AWS.
I have a Arduino UNO connected to my ESP8266 and I want to send data to AWS IOT. Unfortunately for the project I am working on I cannot use the ESP8266 standalone. I am able to send data to cloud using the Thingspeak cloud platform (https://www.electronicshub.org/connect- ... hingspeak/) I am having trouble doing the same for AWS IOT
I understand the "ESP8266WiFi.h" is a header file that is used for the ESP in standalone configuration,
Could you provide me some ideas or links as to how I may approach this.

Thanks,
Shalin

Maybe if you could begin by telling me exactly what's is not working in what you are doing, I would be able to give you some cues. I'm not sure in which direction to send you...
