ChatGPT Arduino Programming Ultimate Test, ChatGPT for Arduino Projects– In today’s article, I am going to use ChatGPT to make an Arduino-based project that’s never been done by anyone before. First, I will make the project and then I will ask ChatGPT to make the same project.

So, I started off by asking ChatGPT to tell me about yourself and ChatGPT replied

“I am a language model created by OpenAI. My primary function is to generate human-like text based on the input I receive. I have been trained on a diverse range of internet text, allowing me to answer questions on a wide range of topics and generate text that is coherent and informative.”

It doesn’t matter, how many times you ask ChatGPT, every time it will use different words, so it will be 100% plagiarism free. So, you can use ChatGPT for writing your project reports and thesis. But, what I suggest is, do it yourself.

You can talk to ChatGPT just as you normally talk to people. So, I continued chatting with ChatGPT and I was really amazed. ChatGPT knows when to apologize and it knows very well how to ignore spelling mistakes. Anyway, read my chat and then we will continue from there.

I am already impressed, but before I start the challenge, first I am going to ask ChatGPT to write me a song on Arduino. I just want to check how creative it is.

“ChatGPT’s response depends on your question. The more information you give ChatGPT, the better it will reply. I asked ChatGPT to write me a song on “Arduino” and mention my YouTube channel “Electronic Clinic” and also mention my subscribers as I am dedicating this song to my subscribers. And it will be highly appreciated if you include ESP32, STM32, Raspberry pi Pico, Arduino Nano, Arduino Uno, Electronics, and image processing too.

This is absolutely mind-blowing, in just a few seconds ChatGPT wrote an Arduino song. Just take a look, ChatGPT used my channel name, and mentioned my subscribers and all the controller boards as well.

You now have a sense of just how strong ChatGPT is.

I have so many controller boards, sensors, and breakout boards. Is ChatGPT really that powerful to be able to program all of these things? Well, to test it, I am going to randomly select two sensors. Let’s start with the DHT21 and Max6675 amplifier board and K type thermocouple. And for displaying the values I am going to use I2C SSD1306 Oled display module. And I am going to use Arduino Nano.

Let me tell you about the project, and what exactly I want to build. As I said earlier I am trying to build an Arduino based project that’s never been done before. So, I am going to use an Oled display module, DHT21 Temperature and Humidity sensor, and Max6675 and K type thermocouple with the Arduino at the same time. Let’s see how ChatGPT handles all the libraries and programming.

But, first, I am going to build this project and then I will ask the ChatGPT. So, without any further delay, let’s get started!!!

Circuit Diagram:

The VCC and GND pins of the DHT21, SSD1306 Oled display, and Max6675 Amplifier board are connected with the Arduino 3.3V and GND pins.

The SCK, CS, and SO pins of the Max6675 Amplifier board are connected to the Arduino pins D6, D5, and D3 respectively.

The Data wire of the DHT21 Temperature and Humidity sensor is connected to the digital pin D2.

The SDA and SCL pins of the SSD1306 Oled display module are connected to the analog pins A4 and A5. A4 is the SDA and A5 is the SCL.

I have connected everything as per the circuit diagram. And as you can see I am using my Arduino Nano development board. But you can also do all these connections on a breadboard. But, if you want to make the same Arduino Nano development board then you can download its PCB Gerber files.

Practical Testing:

I applied heat to the DHT21 and K type thermocouple and the temperature raised to 17.5 and 37.25 degrees Celsius. So, my code is working and it took me around 30 Minutes to make it work. It may seem hard to believe, but I did it in 30 minutes as I have been using these sensors and displays for years. Anyway, now let’s go ahead and ask ChatGPT to write the Code.

Now, let’s get back to our project.

As I mentioned, the more details you give to ChatGPT, the better it will respond. So let’s go ahead and tell ChatGPT about the project.

Write me Arduino code for monitoring two sensors DHT21 and Max6675 K type thermocouple. The data wire of the Dht21 sensor is connected to the digital pin D2 pin of the Arduino. Whereas the SCK, CS, and SO pins of the Max6675 are connected to the Arduino digital pins D6, D5, and D3 respectively. The SDA and SCL pins of the SSD1306 Oled display module are connected with the A4 and A5 pins respectively. I want you to display the dht21 temperature, dht21 Humidity, and the temperature value from the Max6675 k type thermocouple on the SSD1306 Oled display module.

You can see, I am telling ChatGPT about the connections and I am giving it some instructions how to do it. So, I am going to press the Enter key and let’s see.

I didn’t ask for the comments so that’s why ChatGPT is not adding any comments. Anyway I copied this code and pasted into the Arduino IDE. And when I compiled the code I got two errors which I fixed.

Practical Demonstration:

Its displaying all the values in the same order as I asked for. It’s outstanding. The text is small but it’s not an issue. We can increase the font size. Anyway, you can see the Temperature and Humidity values from the DHT21 Sensor and the temperature value from the Max6675 K type thermocouple.

It took me 30 minutes to complete the code but ChatGPT did it in just a few seconds. There were a few errors which I fixed in less than 5 minutes time. So, ChatGPT can save a lot of your time. You guys need to give it a try. So, that’s all for now.
