Arduino Packages
We’re going to need 4 extra packages for building the kit:
- ezTime, to get the current time when it turns on
- MQTT, to send data over the internet
- ArduinoJson, to format data for our dashboard connection
- Seeed_Arduino_AHT20, to connect to the temperature board
To locate the Library Manager, click on the third icon on the left side that looks like a stack of books.
In the search box beneath LIBRARY MANAGER, filter the list for each of the packages and click the install button below them:
- ezTime by Gonggrijp
- MQTT by Joel Gaehwiler
- ArduinoJson by Baozhu Zou
- Seeed_Arduino_AHT20 by Benoit Blanchon
If you clear the search box, click on the Type dropdown and select Installed, you should see the full list:
