Arduino
To install I download source tar.gz and run ./install.sh or download binaries.
https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/releases
You should add user to dialout group (or try to install from ubuntu software
and installation will add your user to the group automatically, you just have to
log out)
Arduino Makefile
I use Arduino Makefile to compile and flash to arduino https://github.com/sudar/Arduino-Makefile
# ubuntu
sudo apt-get install arduino-mk
# mac
brew tap sudar/arduino-mk
brew install arduino-mk
pip install pyserial
If your system is python3 than switch to python 2 with pyenv PR https://github.com/sudar/Arduino-Makefile/pull/640 but can not find python in Arduino.mk so you can switch back to python 2
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
pyenv shell 2.7.18
or to update the file
# vi $ARDMK_DIR/bin/ard-reset-arduino
#!/usr/bin/env python3
arduino-mk gives some mk files like Arduino.mk and you can find installation folder with
brew --prefix arduino-mk
export ARDMK_DIR=`brew --prefix arduino-mk`
export ARDUINO_DIR=/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java
export AVR_TOOLS_DIR=$ARDUINO_DIR/hardware/tools/avr
or put in bachrc ` ~/config/bashrc/arduino.sh`
So for your project you have to define
# Makefile
BOARD_TAG = uno
ARDUINO_PORT = /dev/ttyACM0
include $(ARDMK_DIR)/Arduino.mk
In vim you can run
make
make upload
make monitor # serial monitor using screen, press any key to send to serial
# you can exit with Ctrl+C or Ctrl+A + K (and y)
make show_boards
make show_submenu
In case you have an error avrdude: can't open config file
"/usr/../avrdude.conf": No such file or directory than define in makefile
AVRDUDE_CONF = /etc/avrdude.conf
In case of error grep: /usr/share/arduino/hardware/arduino//boards.txt: No such
file or directory than you need to export ARDUINO_DIR
Ignore build files
#.gitignore
build-uno/
Include libraries https://github.com/sudar/Arduino-Makefile#including-libraries
Makefile for ESP8266 ESP32
https://github.com/plerup/makeEspArduino
git clone https://github.com/plerup/makeEspArduino.git
cd makeEspArduino
export ARDUINO_ROOT=~/Library/Arduino15
make -f makeEspArduino.mk DEMO=1 flash
make -f makeEspArduino.mk DEMO=1 clean
To debug Makefile you can echo variable value:
$(error SKETCH is $(SKETCH))
I stuck with error
/Users/dule/Documents/Arduino/libraries/ArduinoIoTCloud/src/cbor/lib/tinycbor/src/cborparser.c:878:39: error: 'INT_MIN' undeclared (first use in this function)
878 | if (unlikely(v > (unsigned) -(INT_MIN + 1)))
| ^~~~~~~
/Users/dule/Documents/Arduino/libraries/ArduinoIoTCloud/src/cbor/lib/tinycbor/src/compilersupport_p.h:180:45: note: in definition of macro 'unlikely'
180 | # define unlikely(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 0)

36 | #include "cborinternal_p.h"
+++ |+#include <limits.h>
so I end up using Arduino command line interface https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/0.24/getting-started/
# generate completion
arduino-cli completion bash > ~/config/bashrc/arduino-cli.sh
# list installed boards
arduino-cli core list
# list ports

arduino-cli board listall esp8266 | grep generic

# compile
arduino-cli compile --fqbn esp8266:esp8266:generic
# upload
arduino-cli upload --fqbn esp8266:esp8266:generic -p /dev/cu.usbserial-13320
# serial monitor
arduino-cli monitor -p /dev/cu.usbserial-13320
Low cost tx rx
VirtualWire works fine on ATMEGA Follow installation
http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/VirtualWire/ and download zip and extract
to sketchbook/libraries in my case is /home/orlovic/Arduino/libraries. Than
you can find examples of it: File -> Examples -> VirtualWire -> transmitter
Pin 12 is for sending, Pin 11 for receiving.
But since it is not updated I used Manchester http://mchr3k.github.io/arduino-libs-manchester/
ESP32
Add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json
to Preferences -> Additional Board Manager URLs
After installing new Tools -> Boards Manager -> esp32, you can select Tools ->
Board -> ESP32 Arduino -> DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1 and upload Blink example.
Port is /dev/cu.usbserial-0001
For ESP8266 based on
https://arduino-esp8266.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing.html you need to add
https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json to Additional
boards manager urls, and install by Tools -> Boards Manager -> search for
esp8266. After that you can select Tools -> Board -> ESP8266
Note that port name is: /dev/cu.usbserial-13310
My model is NodeMCU 1.0 ESP-12E (older is 0.9 ESP-12)

Arduino cloud
https://cloud.arduino.cc/home/ Create device https://create.arduino.cc/iot/devices select esp8266 or ESP32 or LoRaWan use Genereic model and save DEVICE_ID and SECRET_KEY
For device you can create thinks like bulbs, relays and add variables to that thing.
Use firefox to connect to arduino agent.
Use dashboard to control variables.
You can download skecth and open in Arudino IDE but you need to set up
# arudino_secrets.h
#define SECRET_SSID "trk inovacije"
#define SECRET_OPTIONAL_PASS "asd"
#define SECRET_DEVICE_KEY "asd"
You should see thing based on secret key in serial log
Connection to "trk inovacije" failed
Retrying in "500" milliseconds
Connected to "trk inovacije"

To connect to alexa we will follow next tutorial
Alexa
Follow https://iotcircuithub.com/arduino-iot-cloud-esp8266-alexa-home-automation/ but my echo can not find those switches on esp8266 Documentation says alexa should find switches https://iotcircuithub.com/alexa-arduino-iot-cloud-smart-home-skill/ but I could not. Also I did not find any specific code or library for alexa, only for Arduino IOT.
Another solution is to use https://github.com/vintlabs/fauxmoESP and follow https://randomnerdtutorials.com/alexa-echo-with-esp32-and-esp8266/
Use Sketch -> Include library -> Manage libraries -> search fauxmo or install libraries manually.
cd ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries
git clone [email protected]:me-no-dev/ESPAsyncWebServer.git
# for ESP32
git clone [email protected]:me-no-dev/AsyncTCP.git
# for ESP8266
git clone [email protected]:me-no-dev/ESPAsyncTCP.git
when I try example fauxmoESP_Basic my echo can not discover new devices. I
tried both ESP32 and ESP8266.
Another solution is to use https://github.com/Aircoookie/Espalexa Example Examples -> Espalexa -> EspalexaBasic and echo recognizes those 3 lights Note that once you recognize the light, you need to remove them so next time you can recognize again. I tried with ESP32 and it sometimes has a problem connecting to Wifi. When I use mobile Wifi than it conects faster and more often. Also not responding https://github.com/Aircoookie/Espalexa/issues/44 ESP8266 connects to both mobile wifi and cable wifi without problems.
You should start alexa on connect successfully. To listen on connection events add callbacks:
bool alexaDeviceAdded = false;
void setup() {
ArduinoIoTPreferredConnection.addCallback(NetworkConnectionEvent::CONNECTED, onNetworkConnect);
ArduinoIoTPreferredConnection.addCallback(NetworkConnectionEvent::DISCONNECTED, onNetworkDisconnect);
ArduinoIoTPreferredConnection.addCallback(NetworkConnectionEvent::ERROR, onNetworkError);
}
// https://github.com/arduino-libraries/Arduino_ConnectionHandler
void onNetworkConnect() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, ON_ACTIVE_LOW);
Serial.print(">>>> CONNECTED to network. ");
if (!alexaDeviceAdded) {
Serial.println("espalexa.addDevice Light 1");
espalexa.addDevice("Light 1", firstLightChanged);
espalexa.begin();
} else {
Serial.println("Keep using old device");
}
}
void onNetworkDisconnect() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, OFF_ACTIVE_LOW);
Serial.println(">>>> DISCONNECTED from network");
}
void onNetworkError() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, OFF_ACTIVE_LOW);
Serial.println(">>>> ERROR");
}
“Alexa, help me to get started with Light 1” “Alexa, turn on Light 1” “Alexa, turn off Light 1” “Alexa, dim Light 1” # decrease by 50 from 255 “Alexa, increase light 1 by 100%” # increases by 100 “Alexa, brighten the Ligth 1” # increases by ~50
GRBL drive step motor using g codes
To install grbl download and extract https://github.com/gnea/grbl/releases and
inside Arduino Sketch -> Include library -> Add zip library navigate to grbl
folder.
This will create ~/Arduino/libraries/grbl
Then upload firmware example: Open File -> Examples -> grbl -> grblUpload
UGS
To install UGS universal g code sender, go to https://winder.github.io/ugs_website/download/ and download to programs and link to bin
ln -s /home/orlovic/Programs/ugsplatform-linux/bin/ugsplatform ~/Programs/bin/
