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

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

I isolated a var that I'm interested in, and I want to connect Node-RED to thingspeak to show the values on the graph. The problem is the node "mqttout": I connected it to the server mqtt3.thingspeak.com and the port 1883, and with the device with right username and password. It shows "connected", but the graph is still the same, I can not upload the varabiles.
Kindly assist. Im getting this error message when i try to upload to my esp8266 board. I have tried reinstalling arduino ide and libraries. Have also replaced my previous board with a new one.
" fatal esptool.py error occurred: Cannot configure port, something went wrong. Original message: PermissionError(13, 'A device attached to the system is not functioning.', None, 31)esptool.py v3.0

I have noticed that any of thingspeak channels (irrespective of Public or private) can be read by using below request.
this reduces the security of the channel. If the channel is Private without the valid Read key it should not be able to read from the channel.
Am i missing something??
Welcome to MATLAB Central's first Ask Me Anything (AMA) session! Over the next few weeks, I look forward to addressing any questions or curiosities you might have about MATLAB, the forum, sasquatches, or whatever's on your mind. Having volunteered as a contributor to this community before joining MathWorks, I'm excited to act as a bridge between these two worlds. Let's kick things off by sharing a little-known fact about the forum’s staff contributors!
A couple of years ago, before I joined MathWorks as a developer on the Graphics and Charting team, I often wondered who were the MathWorkers with the [staff] moniker answering questions in the Answers forum. Is their MATLAB Central activity part of their day-to-day job expectations? Do they serve specific roles on some kind of community outreach team? Is their work in the forum voluntary in the same way that non-staff contributors volunteer their time?
Now that I'm on the inside, I'd like to share a secret with my fellow MATLAB users and MATLAB Central enthusiasts: with the exception of the MathWorks Support Team, staff participation in the Answers forum is completely voluntary! The staff contributions you see in the forum arise from pure intrinsic motivation to connect with users, help people out of ruts, and spread the word about our product!
For example, Steven Lord has contributed 20-150 answers per month for 9 years! Steven is a quality engineer for core MATLAB numerical functions. Cris LaPierre develops training material and has been a faithful contributor in the forum for almost 6 years! Kojiro Saito and Akira Agata have been tackling Japanese content for more than 7 years! There are many others who have inspired me as a user, and I am honored to now call colleagues: Peter Perkins, Michio, Joss Knight, Alan Weiss, Jiro Doke, Edric Ellis, and many others who deserve appreciation.
The forum's success hinges on the invaluable contributions from the majority of non-staff volunteers, whose dedication and expertise fuel our community. But I know I wasn't alone in wondering about these staff contributors, so now you're in on the secret!
I'm curious to know what other topics you're interested in learning about. Ask me anything!

I have a LORA node up-linking data to a Thingspeak channel via The Things Network (TTN). Sometimes it stops sending data and I reboot it by logging into my console on TTN and sending a re-boot down-link message to the node. Is there any way I can transmit a downlink message to the node direct from Thinkspeak?
