In this video, we cover connecting a mcGateway to Wi-Fi as opposed to using an Ethernet connection.  You can connect a mcGateway to Wi-Fi with ease using your Wi-Fi router’s WPS mode. If your Wi-Fi router does not have a WPS mode button/setting, we also cover how to connect your mcGateway to Wi-Fi through mcStudio.

In this video, Tom Edworthy sets up a wireless water level sensor for his Christmas tree to ensure that it's always watered. Using an MQTT app, Tom is able to monitor if the tree has a sufficient amount of water or if it needs to be watered.

We have just released a new version of mc-Studio (v0.7.905). This was an emergency fix for situations where the speed of the PC related to the speed of mc-Demo205 could result in a race condition where connecting to a device fails. This problem only occurs when the mc-Demo205 is connected over USB.

You can download this new version and access the complete change logs on our website at the following:
