Trying to connect ESP8266 to thingsboard for data transfer
Posted: Sat Feb 29, 2020 5:29 amHi,
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.
