I use "x = ThingSpeak.writeFields(myChannelNumber1, myWriteAPIKey1);" in my code to update the ThingSpeak channel. 4 fields are associated with this channel. This statement is executed about once every 5 minutes.
Roughly 60% of the time, I got an error message "HTTP error code -301". The other 40% of time the channel update is successful. What does the "HTTP error code -301" mean? Any suggestion on how to improve the success rate of the channel update
Something that had bothered me ever since I became an FEA analyst (2012) was the apparent inability of the "camera" in Matlab's 3D plot to function like the "cameras" in CAD/CAE packages.
For instance, load the ForearmLink.stl model that ships with the PDE Toolbox in Matlab and ParaView and try rotating the model.
clear
close all
gm = importGeometry( "ForearmLink.stl" );
pdegplot(gm)
Things to observe:
- Note that I cant seem to rotate continuously around the x-axis. It appears to only support rotations from [0, 360] as opposed to [-inf, inf]. So, for example, if I'm looking in the Y+ direction and rotate around X so that I'm looking at the Z- direction, and then want to look in the Y- direction, I can't simply keep rotating around the X axis... instead have to rotate 180 degrees around the Z axis and then around the X axis. I'm not aware of any data visualization applications (e.g., ParaView, VisIt, EnSight) or CAD/CAE tools with such an interaction.
- Note that at the 50 second mark, I set a view in ParaView: looking in the [X-, Y-, Z-] direction with Y+ up. Try as I might in Matlab, I'm unable to achieve that same view perspective.
Today I discovered that if one turns on the Camera Toolbar from the View menubar, then clicks the Orbit Camera icon, then the No Principal Axis icon:
That then it acts in the manner I've long desired. Oh, and also, for the interested, it is programmatically available: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/cameratoolbar.html
I might humbly propose this mode either be made more discoverable, similar to the little interaction widgets that pop up in figures:
Or maybe use the middle-mouse button to temporarily use this mode (a mouse setting in, e.g., Abaqus/CAE).
I've noticed is that the highly rated fonts for coding (e.g. Fira Code, Inconsolata, etc.) seem to overlook one issue that is key for coding in Matlab. While these fonts make 0 and O, as well as the 1 and l easily distinguishable, the brackets are not. Quite often the curly bracket looks similar to the curved bracket, which can lead to mistakes when coding or reviewing code.
So I was thinking: Could Mathworks put together a team to review good programming fonts, and come up with their own custom font designed specifically and optimized for Matlab syntax?
Problem statement: I've written a visualization that I'd like to use on potentially hundreds of different channels in my commerical account. Because it contains code that's unique to the channel (channel id, read API key, etc.) I have to create and maintain a duplicate visualization for each channel. This is wasteful, a source of errors, and almost intractable for a commercial customer with a high channel count.
My request is that MATLAB Visualizations be extended to support parameters, but only a predefined set to reduce the scope. I would propose a subset of the parameters currently supported by the ThingSpeak API. For example, thingSpeakRead supports (requires) readChannelID, NumPoints, and a ReadKey etc. If those were elevated to also be allowed as Visualization parameters, I imagine it would satisfy a large subset of user needs.
The poor man's version of this would be if ThingSpeak supported just one special parameter, such as %CHANNEL_ID%. If this was available within the visualization code one could use it as a key into table to get the other pieces of data like API keys, etc. It would be have to be passed on the visualization url (https://thingspeak.com/apps/matlab_visualizations/573779?readChannelID=xxxxx). Not sure how the visualization would pick it up in the use case where it's called from the ThingSpeak website under the user's list of MATLAB Visualizations. Perhaps it can be prompted for.
I initially considered user defined functions or libraries but they are not supported and I can see that that would require even more development work to support. The workarounds described in this thread aren't suitable for me. https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/2102981-how-to-use-private-functions-lib-in-thingspeak?s_tid=srchtitle_community_thingspeak_14_libraries

how can I link a chinese flow meter to this website
Die Anzeige der Werte in den einzelnen Feldern ist nicht aktuell.
So werden z.B. um 18:00 Uhr nur die Werte bis 14:00 Uhr angezeigt, auch das verändern des Zeitfensters bringt keine Abhilfe.
Hat jemand eine Idee wie ich die der Uhrzeit ensprechenden Werte zur Anzeige bringe.
Die Werte werden von Shellies und BitShake kontinuierlich übertragen.
My thingSpeak channel kept on updateing the same signal as early eventhough my simulink have update the new signal. How to solve this?
Hi ThingSpeak Community,
I hope you are all doing well.
I am currently setting up a Vodafone ACL for a SIM card that will be used in a device destined for a remote charity deployment in a week. The goal is to ensure that the device can reliably upload data to ThingSpeak without any connectivity issues.
Here are the details of my current ACL setup:
- FQDN: api.thingspeak.com (specified as the API endpoint)
- IPv4 Address: 184.106.153.149 (found online)
- Port: (left empty)
I've attached a photo of the setup for reference.
Could you please confirm if the above ACL settings are correct? Additionally, if there are any other considerations or settings I should be aware of for ensuring reliable connectivity with ThingSpeak, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.
Currently, all I am using for the device credentials is the PIN number. Do I need to adjust any settings in the Arduino code or the ACL to maintain stable connectivity with ThingSpeak, especially considering the device will be in a remote location and difficult to access for adjustments?
Your prompt assistance and advice will be immensely valuable, as I want to ensure everything is correctly configured before deployment.
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Arthur
An option for 10th degree polynomials but no weighted linear least squares. Seriously? Jesse
I have lon and lat and signal stengths plotting from my roaming GPS Lora module that reports signal strength to Thingspeak at it's location. I got GEOSCATTER plotting location circles.But i want extrapulate?Interp?Heatmap. the stengths between the points. When i use Interp i end up timiming out. How do i modify my code to do this?

Spring is here in Natick and the tulips are blooming! While tulips appear only briefly here in Massachusetts, they provide a lot of bright and diverse colors and shapes. To celebrate this cheerful flower, here's some code to create your own tulip!
Hallo zusammen,
seit ein paar Tagen werden sämtliche meiner Visualisierungen nicht mehr aktualisiert. Im Editiermodus läuft der Code durch und die Grafik wird korrekt erzeugt.
Hat jemand eine Idee was da schief läuft?
Danke & viele Grüße

Hi Helpdesk,
I urgently seek assistance with an issue that has persisted for a week. I am using Node-RED to interface my gateway and vibration sensor. The sensor sends 960 packets of X, Y, and Z data every 5 minutes. I retrieve and send this data through my Thingspeak42 node to my Thingspeak channel.
I am subscribed to the Thingspeak Student paid plan (see attached "12.png"). Despite this, Thingspeak is inconsistently snipping my data. For example, my X-field sometimes receives only 78 out of 960 points, and similar inconsistencies occur with the Y and Z fields.
Attached is "vibration data node red.png," showing an attempt to send just 120 packets to my Thingspeak channel. However, only 93 data points are received. Also attached is a JSON snapshot of field 2 - X_values, showing only 93 points ("JSON Field 2 data.png"). This is disappointing given that I am paying for the student plan, which should support 33 million points/year per unit (~90,000/day per unit).
I urgently require an explanation and resolution for this issue. Please provide immediate assistance.
Kind regards,
Krish
I have an Arduino Uno R3 with an integrated ESP 8266. With the Arduino Uno, I measure some capacitive humidity sensors and a DHT 22 temperature and humidity sensor. The measurements are sent to the serial port and the ESP 8266 picks them up and uploads them to ThingSpeak. My problem is that it does this randomly and not in the assigned fields. Could someone help me? Thank you very much
Hi team,
Could you please confirm us about the process power and computational capacity of ThingSpeak i.e. how quickly and efficiently my MATLAB code can execute on ThingSpeak? What other specifications related to data communication and integration are there in ThingSpeak? As all specifications are not mentioned here: https://thingspeak.com/prices/thingspeak_academic
Thanks.
Regards,
Tanusree

I found this plot of words said by different characters on the US version of The Office sitcom. There's a sparkline for each character from pilot to finale episode.
A high school student called for help with this physics problem:
- Car A moves with constant velocity v.
- Car B starts to move when Car A passes through the point P.
- Car B undergoes...
- uniform acc. motion from P to Q.
- uniform velocity motion from Q to R.
- uniform acc. motion from R to S.
- Car A and B pass through the point R simultaneously.
- Car A and B arrive at the point S simultaneously.
Q1. When car A passes the point Q, which is moving faster?
Q2. Solve the time duration for car B to move from P to Q using L and v.
Q3. Magnitude of acc. of car B from P to Q, and from R to S: which is bigger?
Well, it can be solved with a series of tedious equations. But... how about this?

Hi,
I'm a Analysis and systems development student.
Last friday i've created a GPS tracker, using thingspeak api and server, it was working fine until this morning, now it stops.
what could have happened?
i've not even touched the code these days
