Parsing Data From an API using ArduinoJSON (ESP8266/ESP32)

Рет қаралды 61,991

In this video we will look at using ArduinoJSON to parse data that we get back from APIs. Arduino JSON is a really great piece of software but there are a few caveats that are important to know when you are using it.

I love the costume changes! It did make me think I was having a stroke or something but only for a couple seconds. ;-) Thanks so much for your video. I have used Arduino JSON a bunch but it has either been boiler-plate code from someone else's project or by dumb luck I have stumbled into getting it to work. I definitely think I have a better handle on everything now. And I never knew about the helpful tool! Thanks again!!

Have you thought about using an iPhone or tablet to try and connect to an Arduino or breadboard. I've just started following your channel and thought it would be interesting to try and connect my iPad Pro, which has a USB--C connector to a breadboard to run a few electronic experiments on. Looking at using a SparkFun USB-C breakout to connect the iPad to and see what happens.

I have a project with a Mega 2560. It occurred to me late that I want to transmit the sensor data via Wifi. That's why I'm building a JSON string without a library. Each sensor has just one letter followed by the value, all in curly brackets. I then push the whole thing via Serial to an ESP8266. It throws the data over to my Raspberry PI where the analysis takes place. The Mega2560 is already very busy and I didn't want to rewrite the whole project on the ESP, so the ESP became only the Serial MQTT Getaway.

@BrianLough 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah for compiling json I mostly don't use the library, depends on how complex it is. If the project is working for you the way it is, I don't see much need for changing anything!

"I'm building a JSON string without a library" // So your position is the library consumes too much resources of MCU or what?

@@BrianLough Totally understand. I recently recorded a video of my playing a song for my wife for our anniversary and I swear it took 50+ takes, in between the kids fighting in the background/turning up the TV volume to max/calluses splitting on my fingers etc.etc. I think I had an eye twitch on the last one and it totally became a thing I had to finish rather than a romantic gesture. Think I destroyed the song for both of us. But I did it and that's all that matters.
