Welcome to the MySQL_Connector_Arduino wiki!

This wiki is the new face of the Connector/Arduino project. Here you will find (for those that abhor long technical documentation) a quick start page showing you how to get started quickly using the connector as well as several examples of using the connector with some of the more popular Arduino boards. Later, you can find more details about the connector and how it works.

For those of you new to this project, it is strongly recommended that you attempt the example sketches before attempting your complete project sketch. In fact, if you have problems, taking time to read through the troubleshooting, tips and tricks, and FAQ sections should provide you with answers to the most common problems. You can also visit the common solutions to learn how to solve common tasks for working with MySQL and the connector. Pay particular attention to the limitations section.

If your hardware does not include the traditional Arduino Uno, Mega 2560, etc. board with an Arduino Ethernet or WiFi shield, you will want to check out the hardware guide page to learn more about what hardware (and associated software libraries) you need to ensure success.

Finally, please be sure to read all of the Wiki before opening a new issue for the connector. While the project page is monitored, it is not monitored daily so issues can go some time before being addressed. Plus, at this point, most of the common problems have already been solved. With that, enjoy!

For More Information

You may submit questions and problems with using the connector (but not generic Arduino questions) as an issue on Github, but before asking your question, be sure you’ve read this wiki in its entirety before opening a new issue. Chances are, others have seen your problem and a solution already exists.

For those that want a printed manual with more examples and projects, check out my book, "Beginning Sensor Networks, Second Edition" from Apress.

I will also accept special requests emailed to me directly at drcharlesbell@gmail.com, but I reserve the right to delay my response until time permits. Thus, do not expect an immediate answer (but sometimes I will respond within 24-72 hours).
