Putting it all Together: From Device to Cloud¶

This tutorial will explain how to take your connected device and connected to the cloud.

• Gather the following hardware:
  • STM32F411 Nucleo Board
  • Multitech Systems or ACKme WiFi Module
  • Grove Shield board
  • Grove Temperature Sensor
  • Grove LED

• Connect the WiFi module to the STM32 Nucleo Ardiuno connector
• Connect the Grove shield board to the WiFi module's Ardiuno connector
• Connect the Grove temperature sensor to port A0 and the Grove LED to port D7 of the Grove Shield board

• Plug the STM32F411 Nucleo board to your PC with a USB cable

• Import the STM32 MTS WiFi Connect M2X project into your mbed compiler

or;

• Import the STM32 ACKme Wifi Connect M2X into your mbed compiler

• Click “Import” button on the pop up window shown below

• Open the main.cpp file and make the following modifications:

Enter your M2X API key, Feed ID, Stream, and Name in the corresponding fields as shown below

Change:

To:

Enter the SSID and password of your local WiFi hotspot, see screenshot below for an example of this

• Compile and load the image onto the F411 Nucleo

• Open your terminal emulation program for serial communications. Set the baudrate to 9600

After you have loaded your Nucleo (or perform a reset by unplugging/plunging your USBb cable, or pushing the Black reset button on the STM32 Nucleo board). Through the terminal emulator you can see the board connecting to the WiFi network. After it has successfully joined the network, the application will perform a device location update before it starts readings the temperature sensor. It will then report temperature readings to your M2X “temperature” stream every 5 seconds.

• Go to your M2X account and select the blueprint created previously from Getting Started with ATT M2X

You should see a chart plot of your device’s temperature sensor data from your M2X stream as shown below.

You have now completed the basics of creating a connected embedded device to the cloud.
