# Cloud4RPi Client Library for [Arduino](https://www.arduino.cc/) Framework

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/cloud4rpi/cloud4rpi-esp-arduino.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/cloud4rpi/cloud4rpi-esp-arduino)

The package provides a client library that simplifies connecting Internet-enabled Arduino devices to the Cloud4RPi service.

Supported hardware:

- [ESP8266](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP8266) boards (like [NodeMCU Dev Kit](http://www.nodemcu.com/index_en.html#fr_54747661d775ef1a3600009e) and others).
- [ESP32](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP32) boards (like [ESP32-DevKitC](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/hardware/esp32-devkitc/overview) and others).

Supported ecosystems:

- [PlatformIO](http://platformio.org/platformio-ide)
- [Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software)

The further instructions depend on your preferred ecosystem.

## PlatformIO

The [Cloud4RPi library](http://platformio.org/lib/show/2045/cloud4rpi-esp-arduino) is published in the [PlatformIO Registry](http://platformio.org/lib). Follow the instructions below to start a new Cloud4RPi-enabled project:

1. Create a new PlatformIO project for your board as described in the PlatformIO documentation ([Visual Studio Code](http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/ide/vscode.html#id3), [Atom](http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/ide/atom.html#setting-up-the-project))
2. Open your `platformio.ini` and add the following lines to the end:

   ```
   lib_deps =
       cloud4rpi-esp-arduino

   build_flags=
   ; Required for PubSub library
       -D MQTT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE=1024
       -D MQTT_MAX_TRANSFER_SIZE=128
   ; Enables the verbose output to Serial
       -D CLOUD4RPI_DEBUG=1
   ```

3. Save the `platformio.ini` file and open the `src\main.cpp` file.
4. Copy-paste the [sample code](https://github.com/cloud4rpi/cloud4rpi-esp-arduino/blob/master/examples/control/control.ino).
5. [Log in to your Cloud4RPi account](https://cloud4rpi.io/signin) or [create a new one](https://cloud4rpi.io/register).
6. Copy [your device](https://cloud4rpi.io/devices)'s **Device Token**. You can create a device on the [Devices](https://cloud4rpi.io/devices) page and copy its **Device Token** if you do not have one.
7. Replace the `__YOUR_DEVICE_TOKEN__` string with your device token.
8. Replace the `__SSID__` and `__PASSWORD__` strings with your Wi-Fi network data.
9. If the `LED_BUILTIN` constant is not defined in your board's library, change this constant to the LED's pin number (for example, `2`).
10. Hit the `Build` button and wait until the compilation is completed.
11. Hit the `Upload` button.
12. If the upload fails, try to start the board in the flashing mode (connect the power supply with the GPIO0 pin connected to GND) and try uploading again.
13. Once flashing is complete, open `Serial Monitor` to monitor the device's status.
14. Notice that the device on the [Devices page](https://cloud4rpi.io/devices) went online and started sending data.
15. Go to the [Control Panels](https://cloud4rpi.io/control-panels/) page and add a new control panel.
16. Add a new **Switch** widget and bind it to the `LED On` variable.
17. Add a new **Text** widget and bind it to the `State` variable. Configure different colors for the **"IDLE"**, **"RING"** and **"BOOM!"** strings.
18. Add a new **Slider** widget and bind it to the `DesiredTemp` variable, set its minimum value to 10 and maximum value to 30.
19. Add a new **Gauge** widget and bind it to the `DesiredTemp` variable, set its minimum value to 10 and maximum value to 30.

## Arduino

1. Open **Arduino** and select your board in the **Tools** | **Board** menu. Add [ESP8266](https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino#installing-with-boards-manager) or [ESP32](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/docs/arduino-ide/boards_manager.md) support if it is not added yet.
2. Install the Cloud4RPi library from the **Library Manager**. To do this, open the **Sketch** | **Include Library** | **Manage Libraries** menu, enter `cloud4rpi` into the search field and install the **cloud4rpi-esp-arduino** package.
3. Install the dependencies: **ArduinoJson** and **PubSubClient** libraries.
4. Configure the installed libraries:
   1. Open the `%HOMEPATH%\Documents\Arduino\libraries\PubSubClient\src\PubSubClient.h` (`~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/PubSubClient/src/PubSubClient.h` on Mac) file with any text editor (for instance, [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com)).
   2. Add the following define directives at the beginning:
      ```c
      #define MQTT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE 1024
      #define MQTT_MAX_TRANSFER_SIZE 128
      ```
   3. [Optional] Open the `%HOMEPATH%\Documents\Arduino\libraries\cloud4rpi-esp-arduino\src\Cloud4RPi.h` (`~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/cloud4rpi-esp-arduino/src/Cloud4RPi.h` on Mac) file and add the `#define CLOUD4RPI_DEBUG 1` line at the beginning to enable verbose output.
5. Use the **File** | **Examples** | **cloud4rpi-esp-arduino** menu item to open the sample code. Restart Arduino IDE if this item does not appear.
6. Select the **ESP32 Dev Module** board in **Tools** menu.
7. [Log in to your Cloud4RPi account](https://cloud4rpi.io/signin) or [create a new one](https://cloud4rpi.io/register).
8. Copy [your device](https://cloud4rpi.io/devices)'s **Device Token**. You can create a device on the [Devices](https://cloud4rpi.io/devices) page and copy its **Device Token** if you do not have one.
9. Replace the `__YOUR_DEVICE_TOKEN__` string with your device token.
10. Replace the `__SSID__` and `__PASSWORD__` strings with your Wi-Fi network data.
11. If the `LED_BUILTIN` constant is not defined in your board's library, change this constant to the LED's pin number (for example, `2`).
12. Hit the `Build` button and wait until the compilation is completed.
13. Hit the `Upload` button.
14. If the upload fails, try to start the board in the flashing mode (connect the power supply with the GPIO0 pin connected to GND) and try uploading again.
15. Once flashing is complete, open `Serial Monitor` to monitor the device's status.
16. Notice that the device on the [Devices page](https://cloud4rpi.io/devices) went online and started sending data.
17. Go to the [Control Panels](https://cloud4rpi.io/control-panels/) page and add a new control panel.
18. Add a new **Switch** widget and bind it to the `LED On` variable.
19. Add a new **Text** widget and bind it to the `State` variable. Configure different colors for the **"IDLE"**, **"RING"** and **"BOOM!"** strings.
20. Add a new **Slider** widget and bind it to the `DesiredTemp` variable, set its minimum value to 10 and maximum value to 30.
21. Add a new **Gauge** widget and bind it to the `DesiredTemp` variable, set its minimum value to 10 and maximum value to 30.
