I like this problem by James and have solved it in several ways. A solution by Natalie impressed me and introduced me to a new function conv2. However, it occured to me that the numerous test for the problem only cover cases of square matrices. My original solutions, and Natalie's, did niot work on rectangular matrices. I have now produced a solution which works on rectangular matrices. Thanks for this thought provoking problem James.

I have a SG
F1 Starter Kit and I would like some help in order to upload my data (Temp and Humidy) to my channel
I have written, tested, and prepared a function with four subsunctions on my computer for solving one of the problems in the list of Cody problems in MathWorks in three days. Today, when I wanted to upload or copy paste the codes of the function and its subfunctions to the specified place of the problem of Cody page, I do not see a place to upload it, and the ability to copy past the codes. The total of the entire codes and their documentations is about 600 lines, which means that I cannot and it is not worth it to retype all of them in the relevent Cody environment after spending a few days. I would appreciate your guidance on how to enter the prepared codes to the desired environment in Cody.

Hello ThingSpeak Community,
I have an energy meter sending data of energy consumed in 4 rooms in hexadecimal values to Sigfox and I was trying to decode the payload and route it to ThingSpeak.
All the datas are sent at the same time.
But ThingSpeak only receives 1 of them and plots them.
However, the rest 3 are missing. Is this because I am trying the free version ?
Would the payed version be capable of receiving all the 4 messages ?
I've been trying this problem a lot of time and i don't understand why my solution doesnt't work.
In 4 tests i get the error Assertion failed but when i run the code myself i get the diag and antidiag correctly.
function [diag_elements, antidg_elements] = your_fcn_name(x)
[m, n] = size(x);
% Inicializar los vectores de la diagonal y la anti-diagonal
diag_elements = zeros(1, min(m, n));
antidg_elements = zeros(1, min(m, n));
% Extraer los elementos de la diagonal
for i = 1:min(m, n)
diag_elements(i) = x(i, i);
end
% Extraer los elementos de la anti-diagonal
for i = 1:min(m, n)
antidg_elements(i) = x(m-i+1, i);
end
end

My following code works running Matlab 2024b for all test cases. However, 3 of 7 tests fail (#1, #4, & #5) the QWERTY Shift Encoder problem. Any ideas what I am missing?
Thanks in advance.

for i = 1:length(s)
if double(s(i)) >= 65 && s(i) <= 90
row = 1;
col = 1;
while ~strcmp(s(i), keyboardMap2{row}(col))
if col < length(keyboardMap2{row})
col = col + 1;
else
row = row + 1;
col = 1;
end
end
se(i) = keyboardMap2{row}(col + 1);

Need code to collect data of waterflow sensor using ESP 8266 and to stoe it in ThingSpeak cloud
Ciao a Tutti,qualche mese fa avevo costruito una stazione meteo con un esp32 e vari sensori.
Tutto funzionava, adesso però ho riprovato, e non funziona più. Ho provato a creare un canale nuovo con nuovo ID canale, nuovo ID Client, nuovo Utente (uguale al Client) e nuova Password. si connette (ho inserito un comando se connesso a MQTT scrivi.....) ma non publica i dati.
Non reisco a saltarne fuori, ècambiato qualche cosa?
grazie a tutti
Hello,
could it be that there is currently is a stability problem with the MQTT-Broker? I can establisth a connection successfully using the MQTTX client (web and win64 installation). I tried all possible ports an connection types. It disconnects all the time after a few seconds of establishing a connection successfully. So it was not possible to subscribe any item. I do not think the problem is in my side... By the way, protocol verision 3.1.1 ist supported, 5.0 not, am I right?
Maybe you could give me a hint,
Best regards,
Manfred
in the below code write is working fine, but read is failing ( 404 error) can you please help me reslove this.

Go to thingspeak.com and create an account if you don't have one already.
After logging in, click on the "New Channel" button to create a new channel for your data. This is where your data will be stored and displayed.
Fill in the Name, Description, and other fields for your channel as desired, then click the "Save Channel" button.
Take note of the "Write API Key" located in the "API keys" tab, this is the key you will use to send data to your channel.
Replace the channelID from tab "Channel Settings" and privateKey with "Read API Keys" from "API Keys" tab.
Replace the host variable with the thingspeak server hostname "api.thingspeak.com"
Upload the sketch to your ESP32 board and make sure that the board is connected to the internet. The ESP32 should now send data to your Thingspeak channel at the intervals specified by the loop function.
Go to the channel view page on thingspeak and check the "Field1" for the new incoming data.
You can use the data visualization and analysis tools provided by Thingspeak to display and process your data in various ways.
Please note, that Thingspeak accepts only integer values.
You can later check the values at https://thingspeak.com/channels/2005329
Please note that this public channel can be accessed by anyone and it is possible that more people will write their values.

Dear Sir,
I login my channel in a device using my user name and password (also client id & password) but when I also login using the same user name and password in another device, the first one connection was forced disconnected. I want to publish via thinkspeak mqtt by using the two devices. Please advise how I can do it. Can I use the same thinkspeak user name to login? Is it needed to have another thinkspeak user to login? In this case, please also advise. Many thanks.
Aaron
We’d like to announce a change on the Machine Translation feature on MATLAB Answers.
When users are visiting our international domains (e.g. China or Japan), Answers provides the option to translate the content. Recently, we identified several security threats involving high-volume requests from certain IP addresses targeting our translation service.
As one of the countermeasures, we have now placed the Machine Translation feature behind a login requirement. While non-logged-in users will still see the 'Translate' button, it will be inactive (greyed out) until they log in.
We are actively collaborating with adjacent teams to develop solutions to better detect and block malicious requests.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
