The Flipbook contest is currently in full swing! It's been truly inspiring to see the incredible artwork you've all created using MATLAB! Checkout the gallery page if you haven't already.
We have some exciting news for our contestants today! In order to allow for more complex and unique creations, we've increased the MATLAB Evaluation timeout limit from 55 to 235 seconds!! So, don't hold back! Feel free to throw in those extra intricate lines of code without worrying about timeouts.
To all those already participating, we commend your efforts and encourage you to keep pushing your boundaries. And remember, there's always room for more. So, why not invite your friends and fellow MATLAB enthusiasts to join in the fun?
We also encourage everyone to engage in the contest discussions channel. Share your experiences, insights, and feedback about this contest. Your contributions enrich our community and help us improve future contests.
Looking forward to seeing more and more entries in coming weeks!
when I examine the data stream on an arduino ide I get a lot of "stuff" which I dont understand.
1 what does it mean?
2 how do I prevent it?
We reached the 100 animations milestone in less than 3 days! We are thrilled to see so many creative entries and talented members learning from each other.
Note that this contest is not just for experts. People with all skill levels can participate, improve their MATLAB skills, and have fun!
We have created new resources and tips for you to get started.
- Contest introductory video. The 3-minute video provides you with a quick introduction to how the contest works and how to create a simple animation.
- Animations blog post. The post demonstrates some coding techniques that can make your animations easier.
- AI Chat Playground. This is a new community app we just released. You can leverage the Generative AI tool to write initial draft MATLAB code or modify existing one.
- Get ideas from previous Mini Hack contests. There is a large gallery of amazing images, which provide you with ideas and code to start with.
- Remix is highly encouraged. Learning from others is the most effective way to learn. Make some SMALL changes and see what it would look like.
We look forward to seeing more of you joining us and having more fun!
Unlike last year's contest, there are some new technologies this year that might offer some advantages. Namely generative AI's like ChatGPT, Bard, etc. Not to be excluded, MathWorks just launched the AI Chat Playground :)
Hello,
i want to write the power data from my Tasmota IR Device to my channels, but it does not work.
I have created 3 channels and i use the correct write API in the script. I use the following script:
>D
>B
=>sensor53 r
>S
if upsecs%20==0
then
=>WebSend [api.thingspeak.com] /update.json? api_key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&field1=%sml[1]%&field2=%sml[2]%&field3=%sml[3]%
endif

I get the messages in the console that the data was send but my channels stay empty.
What do i miss ?
Thanks for help

I am collecting Data at 1 minute intervals using esp8266, the data is then sent to Thingspeak on the minute intervals. However I would like to store the data collection on the esp Ram. I am using batteries to power the circuits , if I can store the data and send it on demand I can save quite a bit of battery energy (used up by wifi) - (I already use sleep mode between intervals). As well as using Thingspeak to visuliase the data, I also use a third part app called Thingview which 'feeds' off thingspeak. I am looking for a way to trigger the 'data send' upon opening thinkspeak chanel,so rather than sending every minute it might need to be accessed two or three times a day, is this possible?
Thanks Edward
Hi!
I can't see my data in the charts. I'm using arduino wifi and the connection works.
Maybe I did something wrong in this options
Is there a way to get a handle or link to the database each time I do a WRITE or group of WRITEs? I need to access the set of records that comprises a user session, which could be many WRITEs. My impression is that Thingspeak appears as a continuous stream with no way to mark a set of WRITEs as a group or session. Methods I have tried like retrieval (READs) using timestamps and other after-the-fact queries are not very accurate or user friendly. Thanks.
we are planning to design a drive for an EV using synchronous reluctance motor. To move further we need some drive circuits for simulating and comparing various motors with synchronous reluctance to justify our literature survey. can we get som circuit suggestions?
I am running the code from the following URL: https://kr.mathworks.com/help/comm/ref/comm.ricianchannel-system-object.html. I copied and executed the example to visualize the channel's impulse response. However, when I run the same code multiple times with the same path gains and delays, I get different impulse response results each time. What could be the reason for this?
This behavior is unexpected because the code and settings are the same for each run, and the impulse response should remain constant.
This is the code.
fs = 3.84e6; % Sample rate in Hz
pathDelays = [0 200 800 1200 2300 3700]*1e-9; % in seconds
avgPathGains = [0 -0.9 -4.9 -8 -7.8 -23.9]; % dB
kfact = 10; % Rician K-factor
fD = 50; % Max Doppler shift in Hz
ricianChan = comm.RicianChannel( ...
SampleRate=fs, ...
PathDelays=pathDelays, ...
AveragePathGains=avgPathGains, ...
KFactor=kfact, ...
MaximumDopplerShift=fD, ....
Visualization='Impulse and frequency responses');
ricianChan(0.1);
The two images below show the results of running the same code.
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with how I can simplify this part of my script, specifically scenario 1-3, so that it is easier to read. Perhaps with functions etc. (the comments are in swedish sorry heh. But the script works).
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm losing comms with thingspeak after exactly one hour. I'm on the free plan while I evaluate TS.
I am sending data once a minute. It works fine for one hour, and I get 200-OK responses. After exactly 1 hour, the response from TS is a 404-not found. I do a new DNS lookup, and get a new IP address for TS. Still no response. I do more DNS lookups, and get another different IP address. It cycles through 3 different IP addresses, but noe of them work one hour after bootup on my device.
I'm running an Arduino Nano with an Ethercard and the JNH library. I can still ping the arduino, serve webpages and ping a monitored device, and get NTP time, all in a 1 minute loop, so I doubt the TCP/IP stack has crashed.
after I restart the device, it works again for exactly one hour, and the I lose comms with Thingspeak again.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Adrian
In my struggle to get my SIM7600 connected to thingspeak using MQTT, i went to the basics: simple testing of my connection:
I use this site : https://testclient-cloud.mqtt.cool
Protocol :tcp
Host : mqtt3.thingspeak.com
Port : 1883
Username : got it from my device (double checked !)
Password : got it from my device (double checked !)
When i try to connect I get the message Connection refused : bad user name or password.
I am completely lost. What basic stupi mistake am i missing. I thoroughly read the MQTT help pages.
Any help is appreciated.
Update :
When i select Dedicated connection and i also fill in the will message and will topic, i am able to update my channel. At least some progress.
my Channel ID 2305210 and Channel ID 2300906 are not working properly. Pl.Guide me
Hi there,
I hope someone can help me on this.
I have written a code to connect my SIM7600 to Thingspeak using MQTT. It is basically an aruidino code. All instructions are echo's with an OK message so assume those instrictions are correct. However, the final step, publishing the message to the MQTT server return an error : CMQTTCONNLOST : 0,1.
Any idea which instructions might be wron?
I included the commands send.
10:09:09.031 -> AT+CMQTTPUB=0,0,60,0,0
10:09:09.031 -> +CMQTTPUB: 0,0
10:09:09.031 ->
10:09:09.031 -> OK
10:09:09.031 ->
10:09:09.031 -> +CMQTTCONNLOST: 0,1
The program :
SerialAT.begin(115200, SERIAL_8N1, RXD2, TXD2);
delay(1000);
SerialAT.println("AT+CRESET"); // Reset the SIM7600 module
Read_Response(30000);
SerialAT.println("AT+IPR=115200"); // Set Baudrate of the SIM7600 module
Read_Response(30000);
SerialAT.println("AT+CSQ"); // Check signal level
Read_Response(10000);
SerialAT.println("AT+COPS?"); // Query network information
Read_Response(10000);
SerialAT.println("AT+CMQTTSTOP"); //Stop MQTT service
Read_Response(10000);
SerialAT.println("AT+CMQTTSTART"); //Start MQTT service
Read_Response(10000);
SerialAT.println("AT+CSSLCFG=\"sslversion\",0,3"); //Configure SSL contect ssl_ctxindex,sslversion <0,TLS1.2>
Read_Response(10000);

I wanted to write to my public channel 2278931 with 8 different values to 8 different gauge widgets.
Here is my link.
https://api.thingspeak.com/update.json?api_key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&field1=1&field2=2&field3=3&field4=4&field5=5&field6=6&field7=7&field8=8
You can change values and in the link to change gauge values. On edit I edited my write key to make it not work for others but it will work with your own key.
Up until a few weeks ago, there was a "channels shared with me" option in Thingspeak. I was able to access the channel created by a different user, only once. The next time me and my groupmate tried to open the channel, there wasn't a "channels shared with me" option anymore. Why is that and how can this be resolved?
Is there any problem from thingspeak side, from last month my data is not uploading
