Automatically generate a sketch to connect your Arduino

We are continuously working to make it as easy as possible to connect an increasing number of stuff to Open.Sen.se. The last feature we have added, lets you automatically generate a sketch that lets your Arduino connect to Sen.se through an Ethernet shield. This sketch is completely customized and ready to use without the need to write any code. 

We will ask you for a few parameters, such as your local network settings of your Device, and the pins to which sensors and actuators are attached.

 

Then we will generate a sketch that you will be able to download. Just open it with your Arduino IDE and upload it to your board. 

If you can’t provide some or all parameters, we will nevertheless generate a sketch using the most common values. Sure, this might not work for you, but in a significant number of cases, it does. 

Of course, if you want to write your code by hand, we also provide the template of the sketch with instructions about its structure. You can edit it with your own parameters.
