Connect Arduino to internet over USB (with Processing) - Simple Space Weather meter example (Part 1)

The video tutorial explores how to connect an Arduino to the Internet without using Wi-Fi or Ethernet, by utilizing a USB connection to a computer. It demonstrates a project that retrieves space weather data from the NOAA website and uses it to control LEDs on the Arduino. The tutorial covers setting up the project, using the Processing IDE, and implementing the necessary code to achieve this functionality.

What is the alternative method to connect an Arduino to the Internet without using Wi-Fi or Ethernet?

• Connecting through a satellite link

• Using a cellular shield

• Connecting via USB to a computer

• Using a Bluetooth module

What type of data is retrieved from the NOAA website in the example?

• Temperature data

• Planetary K index

• Wind speed

• Humidity levels

Which software is used to grab data from the Internet and send it to the Arduino?

• MATLAB

• LabVIEW

• Simulink

• Processing

What is the first principle to keep in mind when working on a project like this?

• Use only proprietary software

• Avoid using code examples

• Start with a simple plan

• Start with a complex plan

What is the purpose of the Processing IDE in this project?

• To design printed circuit boards

• To create 3D models

• To simulate Arduino circuits

• To write and run programs that communicate with Arduino

What does the Arduino code do when it receives an 'H' from the serial buffer?

• Turns on the LED

• Turns off the LED

• Increases the baud rate

• Sends a signal back to the computer

What is the baud rate used for serial communication in the Arduino sketch?

• 19200

• 4800

• 9600

• 14400
