Google Chrome Lite mode and Arduino Control Center

-
Google Chrome Lite mode is a way to speed up HTTP sites on slow connections.
This mode is now only available on Chrome for Android.

Important note is that Arduino Control Center web interface http pages NOT WORKING in this mode!


HTTPS pages will load normally, since this traffic is not redirected to google servers.
In order to enable Arduino Control Center web interface http traffic, there is a couple workarounds:

1. Turn off Lite mode on your Android phone.
2. Open Arduino Control Center web page in incognito mode

Or, use https Arduino Control Center web pages only.

Android REST SMS Gateway and Arduino Control Center

-
Image
It sounds awkward? In short, REST SMS Gateway allows changing your phone into a powerful SMS Gateway which you can control from the Arduino Control Center desktop application for sending alarm SMS messages. For testing purposes, I've installed on my smartphone an Android application called very intuitively - REST SMS Gateway :). I got this app from my friend, but you can download it from Android APK(install packages) download sites. This, and many other applications with similar purposes, are not available on the Google Play store anymore due to the Google Play Developer Policy which restricts SMS , CALL_LOG access only to default phone applications. After downloading and installing the APK Android package for the  REST SMS Gateway application, you will get this window: NOTICE: your phone MUST be connected in LAN (local, home network over wireless connection!!!) Otherwise, this will not work. After pressing the Start button, the window below will show up. But, the app...

SeeedStudio Grove Beginner Kit for Arduino with Arduino Control Center

-

Today I have received " SeeedStudio Grove Beginner Kit for Arduino ", a very nice piece of hardware for introducing new Arduino users into the Arduino programming world. Like any other serious hardware manufacturer, SeeedStudio has its own Arduino compatible libraries for supporting this Arduino kit. All documentation, libraries, and examples you can find on this link , including step-by-step instructions. But that won't be a subject of this topic. There is no need to explain something which is already very well documented. I will focus here on how this beginner-development kit can be programmed and visualized with Arduino Control Center. As soon as I connected Grove Beginner Kit for Arduino with included USB micro cable to my Windows PC, Seeeduino Lotus(ATMega328p chip), which is basically Arduino Uno - Nano compatible board, started to boot up and included demo in firmware start running. I didn't pay attention to this because I wanted to test the board with...

ESP8266 and ESP32 WiFi development boards - more power in Arduino Control Center

-

 Starting from version 4.0.0(October 2021), Arduino Control Center supports the ESP8266 WiFi development board.  Just a month later, more powerful ESP32 development boards are also supported in ACC. WiFi boards, like ESP8266 and ESP32, bring much-needed freedom in designing your Home Automation system, a Garden monitoring system, or any else system which has to be controlled, monitored and measured with all kinds of sensors without the need for extra network wirings. ESP8266 and ESP32 are not new types of development boards, Arduino IDE compatible, especially ESP8266. But they are built-in in millions of devices and proved their stability, low cost, and easy integration in many use-cases, from smart switches to robotics and wireless control. Adding ESP boards in ACC is maybe even easier than Arduino boards since the WiFi module is integrated into the chip, unlike Arduino boards where network module(shields) has to be connected separately. We have developed the program with var...
