Cayenne Waiting For Board To Connect... Usb Mac
Bottom line: This is a Mac mini that will appeal to the biggest section of the Mac mini market — pros who don't need it for everything, but do need it for very specific things, and find its usability and utility more than justifies its price, especially when it comes to the software it can run and the uptime it can keep. Infotainment already starts when you charge and connect your iPhone® or any other audio source. You can connect your device easily using either the USB port or AUX input. An internal hard drive ('Jukebox') and two SD card readers are provided in addition to the CD/DVD drive for playback of your personal music.
Have you ever thought of adding an RFID tags/card security system or monitoring system in your home and/or office. Well if you got here i bet you already looked up how freaken expensive they are ranging from $200 to $2000, TOO MUCH RIGHT!?? Well a friend and I have decided to make a system that would cost under $100 and could do even more than just access a door, so this is what we came up with. Free morphing software online. A internet enabled arduino rfid tag reader. That for $20 more can open doors. This system was designed to track students at our highschool and we hope the school approves it.
Here is the prototype. You might be thinking it might take a long time, yatta yatta yatta. Yet this thing only took me about 6 hours (Because I had power issues), but this could take you about 30 minutes to setup like the example above.
All the code and pictures are below so if you are confused in the next steps go ahead and look at the lower pictures/code.
The Internet of Things is kinda the buzz now. But is it still possible to do IoT without the need for an Arduino-compatible wifi/ethernet shield or the ESP8266 wifi module at the least? Fret no more, because it is!
You will need the following: • Arduino board (I will use an Arduino Uno compatible board) • Three (3) LEDs • Three (2) 220-ohm resistors (which we will use to control via the Internet) • A breadboard • Some jumper wires • and lastly, a computer with Internet connection. This will be the gateway of the Arduino and the devices connected to it, to the Internet. The schematics for this activity is as follows: The first thing to do is (well of course, register for a FREE account at. Log on to your account after having set it up successfully: After successfully logging on to your Cayenne account, we need to add a new device: After clicking Device/Widget under Add New combo box, you will be shown options to choose from. Select Arduino under Microcontrollers: Next, you will be shown a screen that will guide you on how to set your Arduino board Arduino IDE, and the libraries.
We already covered this in our previous. Click the Next button afterwards: Clicking the Next button will prompt you to the next step which will as you what type of board you are going to use. But in this activity, that will be irrelevant. We will only focus on the AUTH TOKEN FOR THIS DEVICE.
The value here will be used in the sketch you will be uploading to your board. Take note of the Auth Token value.
Here, it is 5lre2s21xd. But you need to replace this with the actual token you will be receiving: At this stage, Cayenne IoT platform in your account will be waiting for the board to be connected to it. Follow the next steps carefully. Open you Arduino IDE. Be sure that all Cayenne libraries are installed correctly. Will be opening up a sketch which we will be using for this project.
Go to File > Examples > Cayenne > Internet Connections > Serial USB Connection: A sketch will be shown. We will use this sketch for your activity. Now, you need to change the value of the token[] array variable and assign it with the Auth Token found in your set up: After changing it, we are now ready to upload the sketch to your Arduino board (Arduino Uno in my case). After successfully uploading the sketch, we need one more thing to do.
In the comment section of the sketch, you will see: In order for this to work you must run the connection script on the machine the Arduino is connected to. The scripts are located under the extras scripts folder in the main library folder. This redirects the traffic from the Arduino to the Cayenne server. Set the token variable to match the Arduino token from the Dashboard. Compile and upload this sketch. Launch the connection script as described below for Windows or Linux/OSX. Open the Windows command line (cmd.exe) 2.
Navigate to the scripts folder by typing 'cd [path]', e.g. 'cd C: Users [YourUserName] Documents Arduino libraries Cayenne extras scripts' 3. Run the script by typing 'cayenne-ser.bat -c COM4' (where COM4 is port with your Arduino) and hitting Enter I am using Windows, so I will focus on the steps needed for Windows. Open the Command Line as an Administrator: Go to the Cayenne scripts folder.
