MICROCONTROLLER BASICS
Embedded systems for mortals

INTERNET OF THINGS
• ”IoT is a network of physical objects with embedded electronics that collect
and share data”
COMPONENTS FOR IoT

• ESP8266 module
• NodeMCU 1.0
• Arduino UNO wifi Shield
• OTA WeMos D1
1. ESP8266 MODULE
• We are using this today
• Can be programmed by itself but
usually connected to Arduino
• Price: 2 – 5 €
ESP8266 MODULE PINOUT

2. NodeMCU 1.0
• Built-in ESP8266, ”ESPduino”
• Works with Arduino IDE, not officially
though
• 12 V regulator for input voltage
• Price: 5 – 10 €
• 13 GPIO, only one PWM and ADC (0-
1 V)
• Pins work with 0 - 3,3 V!

3. ARDUINO UNO WIFI SHIELD

• Nothing special
• Even the original as poor documentation
• Price
– Fake 10 €
– Original up to 70 €,
can be cheaper
• Has
micro SD
card
slot . . .
4. OTA WeMos D1
• ESP8266 Embedded
• Works with Arduino IDE
• Price 10 €
• 11 Digital I/O pins
– 10 have PWM/Interrupt
• 1 Analog pin (max 3v3)
• 9 - 24 V input to power jack
• All pins use 0 – 3.3 V
• No experience of this yet
• There is also a miniversion which is good!

LOGIC LEVEL CONVERTER

• Logic shifter 3v3 <-> 5 V if you want to use
NodeMCU or OTA WeMoes D1
• Price: Sparkfun 2,5 €
• Bi-directional, works both ways
HOW TO CONNECT?
• Cloud
– NearBus?
• Ready made
– Blynk
• Server
– DIY?
INSTALLING BLYNK LIBRARIES

1. http://www.blynk.cc/getting-started /
2. https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-library/releases/tag/v0.3.1
3. Download the Blynk_v0.3.1.zip in the bottom of the page
EXTRACTING LIBRARIES
4. Extract the 4 folders inside the .zip to: C:\Program Files
(x86)\Arduino\libraries
5. Done!
BLYNK FOR PHONE
• Download the app for your phone
• You will get a project code to your e-mail
– You need to copy paste it to your Arduino Code
HOW TO CONNECT ARDUINO?
ESP8266 AFTER BLYNK

• Using the ESP8266 without an app like Blynk requires some coding skills,
although lots of ready-made code can be found on the internet.
• You can connect with the module directly within its range or anywhere
through internet.
• For internet connection you’ll need a website to which the module sends
data or where you can send data to the module.
• A good basic example project can be found here
http://allaboutee.com/2015/01/02/esp8266-arduino-led-control-from-
webpage/ In this example you have a webpage with buttons that control
LEDs connected to an Arduino with an ESP module.
• The module acts as a serial device, and you speak to it through AT
commands.
– For example AT+CWLAP gives a list of the available access
points (Wi-Fi networks). A list of commands can be found here:
https://nurdspace.nl/ESP8266#AT_Commands
CODES
#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial // Comment this out to disable prints and save space
#include <ESP8266_SoftSer.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleShieldEsp8266_SoftSer.h>
#include <SimpleTimer.h>
// Set ESP8266 Serial object
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial EspSerial(2, 3); // RX, TX
ESP8266 wifi(EspSerial);
// You should get Auth Token in the Blynk App.
// Go to the Project Settings (nut icon).
char auth[] = "your_auth_token";
float temp;
int tempPin = 1; //analog pin 1
int reading;
float voltage;
SimpleTimer timer;
void setup()
{
// Set console baud rate
Serial.begin(9600);
delay(10);
// Set ESP8266 baud rate
// 9600 is recommended for Software Serial
EspSerial.begin(9600);
delay(10);
Blynk.begin(auth, wifi, "ssid", "password"); // enter wifi name and password to it
timer.setInterval(1000L, sendTemperature);
}
// This function sends the value of "temp" every second to Virtual Pin (5).
// In the app, Widget's reading frequency should be set to PUSH. This means
// that you define how often to send data to Blynk App. This function is used (instead of
// sending data in the loop function) to avoid over-loading the Blynk servers.
void sendTemperature()
{
// You can send any value at any time.
// Please don't send more that 10 values per second as this will cause a flood error.
Blynk.virtualWrite(V5, temp);
}
void loop()
{
Blynk.run(); // Initiates Blynk
timer.run(); // Initiates SimpleTimer
// This changes the analog pin reading to Celsius degrees,
// which is then sent to Blynk in the SendTemperature function.
reading = analogRead(tempPin);
voltage = reading * 5;
voltage /= 1024;
temp = (voltage-0.5)*100;
}
