TheRinger/arduino_http_post

Demo of Arduino hardware sending data to the cloud. It is a simple web based monitoring example for Arduino - really easy to put values captured by Arduino online .

======================================== About arduino_http_post

This project is an super simple example of using an Arduino board to POST data to the cloud via Exosite. It assumes that your Arduino board has a Wiznet Ethernet shield connected.

Tested with Arduino 22

======================================== Quick Start

1. Download the Arduino toolchain and development environment
   

• http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/software
  

2. Open the "arduino_http_post.pde" file from the Arduino software
   

3. Edit the "PUTYOURCIKHERE" value in arduino_http_post.h to match your CIK value
   

• HINT: Obtain a CIK from https://portals.exosite.com by clicking +Add Device
  

4. Edit the network values in arduino_http_post.h to match your network setup
   

• e.g. ip, gateway, subnet
  

5. In Portals (https://portals.exosite.com), add two DataSources to match the data resource numbers the code is using.
   

• HINT: Goto https://portals.exosite.com/manage/data and click +Add Data Source
  
• HINT: Ensure the "Resource:" values are set to "1" and "2" respectively to match the code
  

6. In the Arduino software, compile and verify there are no errors
   

7. Go to Tools->Serial Port and select the serial port your Arduino is connected to
   

8. Go to File->Upload to I/O Board to upload the program
   

9. After "Done uploading" is displayed, go to https://portals.exosite.com to see your data in the cloud!
   

• HINT: Your Arduino must be connected to the Internet via the RJ-45 ethernet jack
