- Mon Jun 20, 2016 1:35 pm #49493 Hello, I'm fairly new at the whole wifi IOT coding.

In my project I want to use a UV sensor data and send it to my computer so it can be read thru Max/msp.
I can you show you what I have (which is not much on the udp side of things) but what I have from an example I'm not really understanding and even questioning if I need all that code in it. https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/libraries/ESP8266WiFi/examples/NTPClient/NTPClient.ino

Code: Select all#include <Wire.h>                               //  I2C communication lib
#include "Adafruit_SI1145.h"                    //  UV_Sensor Lib
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiUdp.h>

char ssid[] = "*************";                  //  your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "********";                       // your network password


unsigned int localPort = 2390;                  // local port to listen for UDP packets
WiFiUDP udp;

Adafruit_SI1145 uv = Adafruit_SI1145();




void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
 
  WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);

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

void loop() {
 
Serial.println(uv.readVisible());               // Visible - ??
Serial.println(uv.readIR());                    // IR - Infrared
 
 float UVindex = uv.readUV();
  // the index is multiplied by 100 so to get the
  // integer index, divide by 100!
  UVindex /= 100.0; 

Serial.println(UVindex);                        // UV - Index 0 - 11

  delay(1000);
}

So could somebody guide me a bit thru what I would need for my project and/or show me information about this.
