Select Connection and Disconnection callbacks.The macOS or iOS device has to be connected to the same network (more information available in the Arduino Manager's documentation provided directly into the app). SSID: Enter the name of the network the iOT device is connected to.Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (This is the address of the Gateway used to connect the network to internet, the value has to be compatible with the configuration of the Wi-Fi network used).Netmask: 255.255.255.0 (This defines the subnetwork to which the iOT is connected, usually 255.255.255.0 is fine).Port: 90 (This is the IP port used by the iOT device).IP : 192.168.1.70 (This is the IP address which will be assigned to the iOT device, the value has to be compatible with the configuration of the Wi-Fi network used).This Step is about generating the MicroPython in order to read the voltage value at the Potentiometer's wiper position using the ADC provided by the Pico Pi W. Enter the MicroPython folder and then the Pico_w folder.Open the iCloud Driver on the development computer.In the left menu click on MicroPython Support Code and then on Raspberry Pi Pico W.Hence the first to do is downloading some support code for MicroPython. This instructable is based on Micropython. Please, verify that the development computer is signed in to iCloud ( more information).Īrduino Manager can generate the iOT device's code both for Arduino IDE (C++) and Micropython. Anyway, in order to download the generated code or to download some additional software is required that the macOS or iOS device is signed in to the iCloud using an Apple ID. ![]() In order to communicate with the iOT device Arduino Manager requires only to have a TCP/IP connection (or a Bluetooth BLE connection, not covered here). ![]() The following instructions are for the macOS version but they can be applied to the iOS version almost unchanged. You can start from here to develop your own ideas.ĭisclaimer: I am the designer and developer of Arduino Manager.Īrduino Manager can be bought from the Apple App Store: ![]() This is a guide to use Arduino Manager to create a simple iOT device based on Raspberry Pico Pi W. Code Generators: Arduino Manager provides (for an additional price) two code generators which in most cases take care of everything from communication layer to microcontroller's pins, minimizing the code you have to write and providing help fine tune your final solution.Your data just go back and forth between your devices only. No registration / no cloud: You can control your devices without registering to any cloud service (now free, but tomorrow?).On the other hand, Arduino Manager is an iOS / macOS and watchOS application, based on configurable Widgets, which provides easy way to present data coming from the microprocessor (LED, Display, Graphs, etc.) and control it remotely (Switch, Know, Slider, etc.). Who spent hours trying which ESP8266/32 pin is which and figuring out which pin is better to be left alone at boot, knows what we are talking about. This helps to save a lot of development time and hassles. The microcontroller market already offers cheap and largely available microcontrollers (like ESP8622 and ESP32) but the Pico W strength is that Raspberry provides a lot of well written documentation. The new Raspberry Pi Pico W (which includes Wi-Fi support) offers a huge opportunity to make cheap iOT devices.
