My boss and I were just talking about doing something like this for our 6 servers today! We just had some serious issues with one of them that supports a large scale business! I am going to buy parts and modify this a little bit ASAP! Thanks a ton for this! You are awesome! Keep up the great work and content!
It's because doing things yourself is just generally a lot more fulfilling than just using stuff someone else made. There's a sense of accomplishment that you learned something and created something yourself. Unfortunately it's becoming a lot less common now in this manufactured society. On the bright side, the boom in maker-culture has revived the notion of doing things yourself. 👍
I didn't find the code and diagrams on your website. I am trying to adapt this to an Arduino MKR1000 WIFI since the Arduino WiFi Rev 2 is sold out. I would also like to use a larger LCD panel. I have many to chose from.
Our only Internet option out here in the county is a ADSL link offering from the local telco. We are served from an Outside Plant Module a couple of miles away that in turn connects to the central office. The point of this is to explain that our Internet service can be lost frequently but restored by rebooting the cable modem. Your tutorial was very helpful for me to design an Internet monitor that can power cycle the cable modem upon a loss of Internet based on ping RTT results from 3 hosts. I have it up and running just fine on an Arduino UNO WiFi Rev 2 board. Unfortunately the board will only work with the USB port providing power. A second board has the same issue. Will get some time to try to locate the issue but for now thanks for the great tutorial and ideas!
> me to design an Internet monitor that can power cycle the cable modem upon a loss of Internet Yup, a simple relay and you're off and running. 👍 > Unfortunately the board will only work with the USB port providing power. It should be possible to set up a battery backup. Is it an insufficient-current issue? 🤔
Please make a tutorial on how to ping an rj45 port to find out if there is internet (ping google.com -t) and/or specific network (ping sp.ec.if.c! ) by attaching a cat cable to Arduino network module and displaying ping on display. And it should nicely go into the pocket.
The counter thing is interesting. It's a clever idea to detect a hung device. 👍 That said, instead of using a counter (and calling a function), you could simply flash or toggle a cursor or something. For example: int cursor=false; //make a simple boolean void loop() { ⋮ display.println((cursor=!cursor)?"x":"+")); //negate cursor and print either "x" or "+" (simulate rotating cross) ⋮ }
Arduino code is a bit of a hybrid; it's not quite either. It uses the same syntax, and supports classes and most other C++ features, but gets transpiled into C which then gets transpiled into machine code. For all intents and purposes, for the developer, you can think of it as C++.
Electronics/maker videos tend to get fewer views in general. Other channels doing the same subject get about the same attention. My guess is that makers tend to just jump in and fiddle with things rather than watching videos, and when they run into problems, they just go to the Arduino StackExchange site instead of looking for videos to solve it. 🤔
Wow, thanks to my Arduino Server "TESTER" i now know that my Server is offline. The users will never know, only i know, because of my Tester. Now i have time to fix the issue, because it is only me that knows it's offline. Because of my ping TESTER with LEDs. There is no other way i could achive this for zero dollars and with zero time on any computer i already have. #ComputerExpert #RealLifeApplicable

Something about putting together these types of little hardware projects together is very rewarding!

Nice to have you back!
Glad to see you back !!
Really really cool stuff here

Yup, a simple relay and you're off and running. 👍

Thanks, very nice idea! Greatly appreciated.
Nice, you could also set it to power a relay to re boot your router if the network goes down
Is that possible if I have more than 30 IPs to make an LED for each one?
how can i do it for an ESP 8266

Can I attach a wifi unit externally? will it work?
Great, i love it!
Can you do Nessus 🙏
You really don't know why there are commas and not dots? Eli?
I'm sure he knows but was drawing extra attention to it to make sure people don't make a mistake. 🤔
Is your code written in C or C++?
Arduino code is a bit of a hybrid; it's not quite either. It uses the same syntax, and supports classes and most other C++ features, but gets transpiled into C which then gets transpiled into machine code. For all intents and purposes, for the developer, you can think of it as C++.

Are you s/o Queen Eli-zabeth?
Hey man can you help me. I accidently disabled my nvidia geforxe driver and now i have black screen. What should i do...
Roll back to a previous check point... You need windows cd or USB.
@@elave4218 ohh okay, i got that, what should i do now
Enable it
Why so less views?
#bulrukwashere
You're getting orders of magnitude fewer views than your original educational videos. Are you able to support yourself with this?
