Arduino UNO with ESP8266 WIFI shield

Hi everyone, I tried using my ESP8266 wifi shield to send data to my Ubidots profile but all the libraries seem to have been written to only work with standalone ESP modules. I tried using SoftwareSerial but It still didn’t work.

My goal is to send DHT11 temperature and humidity values to Ubidots, can anyone help me please?

Greetings @Linno,

I hope you’re doing well!

To assist you better, could you please provide more details about your setup and the error you’re encountering? This will help us give you more comprehensive advice.

In the meantime, here are some general tips:

  1. Ensure your ESP8266 module has the latest firmware installed to resolve compatibility issues.
  2. Refer to the guide for proper connection instructions between the devices.
  3. Use a serial monitor to confirm that the ESP8266 is receiving and responding to AT commands correctly. Check for any error messages in the serial output.
  4. Run a simple sketch that connects to WiFi and performs a basic HTTP GET request to isolate connection issues.
  5. Verify that the shield is receiving the correct AT commands and that they are being sent properly.

Best regards
