Yes, Cayenne on Arduino. The same Cayenne we've covered in the past can also be installed on, among many others, an Arduino board. Today we'll be covering the installation process.
Hardware
First, you'll need compatible hardware. The two basic things you need are the micro-controller itself and a network interface card. We used an Arduino Uno (rev. 3) and a SeeedStudio Ethernet Shield (v1.1). Cayenne is compatible with a wide range of other network cards and Arduino boards as well; check their site for full compatibility list. You also of course need a network to connect to, either wireless or wired, and a power source. If you plug into a computer, you can use the serial monitor to view debugging information.
Follow the prompts to select your board and network card(A SeeedStudio ethernet shield is equivalent with a W5100)
Open Arduino IDE
Install Cayenne Library
Go to Sketch=>Include Library=>Manage Libraries
Search for Cayenne and install
Copy and paste the code from Cayenne into Arduino IDE
Compile and upload (this can take some time)
Optional: Serial debug
If you're Arduino is connected to a serial port, you can open the serial monitor and view the board's status
Log into Cayenne and start using your Arduino!
After successful installation, you may receive an email confirming the device was setup:
Conclusion
Now with Cayenne on your Arduino board, simply set it up anywhere with internet and power to be able to remotely and autonomously toggle pins on and off. Just be aware that depending on your network card, certain pins on the Arduino may be unusable, such as pins 13, 12, and 11 in our setup. Stay tuned to CodePy for more tech tutorials!
Installing Raspbian Jessie is fairly straight forward. In this post we'll about downloading the image file, installation, and the first boot. Check out the updated version of this post on Steemit! Downloading Raspbian Raspbian can be downloaded from the official Raspberry Pi website . If you don't need all the bells and whistles, or are working with a small SD card, you'll want to download the lite version. However, most users will want the full edition. Please Download with Torrent! For those who haven't used torrents before, it's a method of downloading files, but instead of downloading them from the server, you download from other users who already have the file. Torrents are safe to use and often faster than downloading from the server. By using Torrent, you also save the Raspberry Pi foundation money by not using their server. Remember, they're a non-profit! They need to save as much money as they can! Installation You can follow our instruction
About Cayenne Cayenne is an IOT cloud program to assist you in quickly building automated projects with the Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and other boards. You can the easy to use graphical interface to manually control pins, view live sensor data, and set up automated responses to run based on time or events. It also let's you remote control the device in a way similar to a VNC server. Cayenne may no be for everyone though, on some board models the program takes up 100% of the processing power constantly. But not to worry, the program is almost as easy to uninstall as it is to install. This tutorial will walk you through the installation process for Raspbian. Installation Android App Cayenne is best used with the companion Android and iOS apps. After opening the app, it will walk you through logging in (or creating an account) and autonomously locate and install your Pi. After it scans the network, click your Pi and enter the username and password (Default Raspbian Username:
While making another tutorial, I realized one thing I forgot that every Pi owner should do regularly: Backup the SD card in case of a crash So this tutorial will show how to use our favorite operating system, Linux, to clone an SD card to an image file. Prepare First, you will need to find the path of your SD card. One easy way to accomplish this on Ubuntu systems is to open the "Disks" utility by opening the Unity Dash and searching "Disks". Here is another screenshot of the icon on a Ubuntu system running the Cinnamon desktop: Once the window opens, select your device from the left and the device path should be displayed(See highlight below). If you use a different distribution, you may have to use a different method to find the disk path. Different versions of Ubuntu may also call Disk Utility slightly different names. Now we start to backup the SD card! We're going to be using the dd command, which looks like this: sudo dd bs=XM
