Release notes
Sketch version 11.30 release notes - Dec – 2021

- Added new sensors: BMP280, SHT21
- ESP8266: compatible with core 3.02 library (more stable)
- Mega: added watchdog
Previous Sketch release notes
Sketch version 11.20 release notes – April – 2021
- New more flexible timer implementation: start time, stop time, more robust then the previous version.
- OTA for NodeMCU/ESP8266: one 11.20 is installed, the next sketches can be installed using OTA (On The Air)
- Sleep mode for ESP8266: enabling the SLEEP mode the board can send its sensor every 10 minutes to the server. Power consumption is very low, batteries can be used.
- ESP8266: DHCP has been fixed
- STM32: interrupt fix
Sketch version 11 release notes – March 29th – 2020
- Updated STM32 sketch for the new STM core library
- NodeMCU/ESP8266: updated Andruino WiFi Manager library for the new ESP core library.
- Sensors:
- Added Bosch I2C Temperature and pressure sensor: BMP085/180
- Updated Dallas temperature sensor: more than one sensor on the same bus
Sketch version 10.3 release notes – March 20th – 2019
- Inverted pin: when the device is reset, the initial state of the PIN will be float, so if there are connected relays, they will not toggle.
- Various improvements on stability.
- Improved startup time when in wifi shield configuration.
- PIN10 deleted from the PIN list (it is used by ethernet shield as CS).
- Led blink option also on ESP8266 wifi shield option
- Sketch NO configurations (sketch senza configurazioni)
- All the user configurations (email, pin, board name, wifi ssid, etc) will be not yet written on the sketch.
- Le configurazioni utente (email, pin, board name, wifi ssid, etc) non verranno più scritte nello sketch.
- Web page configurations (configurazione tramite pagina web)
- Using a web page, the user will insert his account informations (email, pin, board name). For the next sketch updates, is not yet necessary to insert them again because these informations are stored on device flash.
- Utilizzando un’interfaccia web, l’utente immetterà la propria email, pin e nome board. Per i successivi aggiornamenti, lo sketch sarà già configurato poiché queste informazioni sono memorizzate nella memoria flash della board usata.
- Fix from v9.51: (Jan 2018)
- Timer fix: timer #0 did’t work and reset PIN 10 at 00:00.
Delete all the previous libraries and install the new one
Install instructions
How upload the sketch on your board
Using the sketch named: ANDRUINO_IOT_SKETCH you can configure a lot of Arduino boards connected to internet (IoT Nodes). Using AndruinoApp, you can control and monitor all the relays and sensors running on the different boards.
- Download the official Arduino IDE. External link
- Download my latest release of Andruino sketch – Below sections
- Using the #define options you can enable the different sensors and/or different Arduino board (below, I have already created different .zip file for different boards)
- Compile and upload on the board
(see below instruction for each board)
Sketch configuration files: PINS and SENSOR
-
A_SET_CONFIG.ino: used to select the right shield or the sensor libraries
-
B_SET_NETWORK.ino: configure the SERVER/DIRECT mode (above list)
-
C_SET_PIN.ino: choose the PIN used as INPUT and OUTPUT. Select the inversion is is needed

Arduino Mega 2560 + WiFi ESP8266
Download sketch for WiFi connection (ESP8266 module)
Version configured for Arduino Mega 2560 and WiFi module ESP8266
Compiler option used:
#define WIFI_ESP8266_SHIELD 1
Main board connections with WiFi module
ESP8266 vs Arduino PINS:
- TX (esp): D19 (RX1 Arduino Mega)
- RX (esp): D18 (TX1 Arduino Mega) —> using a level shifter 5V to 3.3V
- PD (esp): 3.3V
- RST (esp): D20 (used to reset ESP8266), you can change it according to the sketch, find: ESP8266_RESET_PIN
- VCC (esp): 3.3V (since that are needed 200mA, an external regulator is mandatory)
- GND (esp): 0V
- GPIO2,GPIO0 (esp): floating
NOTE: suggested max wires lenght is 10-15 cm
WARNING: ESP8266 works at 3.3V, so don’t connect it directly to Arduino Mega. Use the below schematic or use the below 5V to 3.3V adapter.
TIP:
To avoid external components, can be used a Breadboard Adapter Level Converter 3.3V- 5V: link
Using this adapter, the wires can be connected directly from Arduino Mega to it.

Very Important Instruction:
- Now before hitting upload, take GPIO-0 to ground.
- And RST to ground afterwards, remove RST after half a second (the blue LED flashes for some millisecond).
- Hit upload, the blue flashes once and then blinks till it gets uploaded
