I'm a complete novice with regards to the ESP8266 and thingsboard. I'm trying to send a voltage signal or level to thingsboard and have initially tried to follow the tutorials:

https://thingsboard.io/docs/samples/esp ... mperature/
and
https://thingsboard.io/docs/samples/esp8266/gpio/

just to try and get any communication between my device and thingsboard. I follow these tutorials exactly (using an LED etc) but do not get any readings appear in the latest telemetry of the device I am using the access token of.

I have tried researching other methods but to no avail.

I am using a C232HM cable to download to the ESP8266 which seems to work fine when downloading basic blink code. I am downloading from the Arduino 1.8.12 IDE with all of the suggested libraries installed. I am unsure how to check where the problem lies, could it be my router settings not allowing the ESP8266 to connect? - how would I tell if the device is successfully connected to my network?

The exact model I have is: SparkFun WRL-13678 WiFi Module – ESP8266

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Toby.
