Official Poluino Library v1.0.0 for ESP8266

This page serves as the documentation to the this official Poluino library. This page assumes that you have experience in making Arduino Sketches.

Getting Started

Required Libraries:

1. ArduinoJson By Bartoz Bielawski
2. PoluinoESP8266 By Poluino

If you need help in installing the libraries, check out this link: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries

Install the ESP8266 Boards from this link: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/how-to-install-esp8266-board-arduino-ide/

After installing the boards, select your board.

Minimalist Script:

Now that we have our dependencies in place, let's make a script that logs in our bot.

Open up a new sketch in the ArduinoIDE and follow along.

Import the Libraries:

We need to import the above mentioned libraries into our sketch.

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClientSecureBearSSL.h>
#include <ArduinoJson.h>
#include <ESP8266HTTPClient.h>
#include <PoluinoESP8266.h>

• ESP8266WiFi is used to connect the ESP8266 to your WiFi Network.
• ArduinoJson is used to create json document which we will sent to the website using an API.
• ESP8266HTTPClient is used to make HTTP/HTTPS requests such as POST.
• PoluinoESP8266 is used to easily access the Poluino API.

Define your variables:

Board station("*your-board-token*");
long timerDelay = ;

Enter a suitable interval at which your device will send data to our server.

Caution: The time should be set in milliSeconds, eg: 5 seconds = 5000

setup():

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

  Serial.print("Connecting...");
  Serial.println();
  WiFi.begin("*your_wifi_name*", "*your_pass*");

  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }

  if (WiFi.status() == WL_CONNECTED){
    Serial.println();
    Serial.println("Connected to: ");
    Serial.println(WiFi.SSID());
    Serial.println("IP address: ");
    Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
  }

  Serial.print("Login Status: ");
  Serial.println(station.login());
}

In the 3rd line, replace your_wifi_name and your_pass with your credentials. This enables the ESP32 to connect to your Home / Office WiFi Network.

loop():

void loop() {
  Serial.print("Login Status: ");
  Serial.println(station.login());
  delay(timerDelay);
}
