Hi everyone,
I need your help. As of 10-4-2021 the option of &headers=false stopped working?
It worked beautifully for about 2 years (circa early 2020) and suddenly on 10-4 the headers are being returned despite this option in the URL (no testing with Chrome isn't a credible test, it internally suppresses them regardless)
Need your help, if there's a way to suppress headers and just return the value of interest as it worked prior to Monday 10-4-2021
Thank you Boyan
How do I code my arduino sketch in order to get the HTTP response from an arduino post?
Hello,
I am working on a project which measures the water level in a well and the temperature of the water. Currently, we have a few of these units deployed in the field and they are working well, but our environmental engineer does not like the water level graphs because they are not "intuitive" enough. The water levels displayed on our graphs are simply the distance between the surface of the water and our distance sensor, so when the water in the well rises, the y-axis value drops, which bothers the environmental guy. Is there a way to flip the y-axis without driving back out to these rural locations and flashing revised code to the mcu? I have been looking around the channel and graph settings and I do not see anything. Google has taken me to some matlab forum links which suggest changing values in objects, which I do not think is any help right now.
Any help is appreciated.
Hi,
my first time to use thingspeak. I have a graph where from time to time there is a peak with 4000, ussualy the data ist arround 50. When I insert the "hampel(my_variable)" I get a message that the toolbox is requierd.
Is there a different way to get rid of these spikes?
greetings
Title pretty much explains it. I can control a TMC2209 Stepper Motor controller or a BMP280 Barometric Pressure device, but when I hook both up to one MEGA if fails. Help would be greatly appreciated. The goal is to sample the barometric pressure, run a vacuum pump to bring the pressure down inside a vessel, then bring the pressure back to the sampled value and then run stepper motors with the TMC2209.
#include "SparkFunBME280.h"
//Stepper driver pin definitions #define PIN_STEP_ENABLE 14 #define PIN_STEP1_DIRECTION 13 #define PIN_STEP1_STEP 12
BME280 mySensorA; //Uses default I2C address 0x77 BME280 mySensorB; //Uses I2C address 0x76 (jumper closed)
void setup() { //Configuer stepper driver pins as OUTPUTs pinMode(PIN_STEP1_DIRECTION, OUTPUT); pinMode(PIN_STEP1_STEP, OUTPUT); pinMode(PIN_STEP_ENABLE, OUTPUT);
//ENABLE pin has to be pulled LOW for TMC2209 digitalWrite(PIN_STEP_ENABLE, LOW);
//Serial.begin(115200);
//Wire.begin();
mySensorA.setI2CAddress(0x76); //The default for the SparkFun Environmental Combo board is 0x77 (jumper open). //If you close the jumper it is 0x76 //The I2C address must be set before .begin() otherwise the cal values will fail to load.
if(mySensorA.beginI2C() == false) Serial.println("Sensor A connect failed"); //if I remark out his line and the line //like it for SensorB ( 2 lines down ) the stepper will run but I get no pressure readings, I stopped getting pressure //readings as soon as I added the code to operate the TMC2209
mySensorB.setI2CAddress(0x76); //Connect to a second sensor if(mySensorB.beginI2C() == false) Serial.println("Sensor B connect failed");
Wire.begin(); Serial.begin(115200);
}
void loop() { //determine starting direction of Stepper digitalWrite(PIN_STEP1_DIRECTION,HIGH);
// Makes 200 pulses for making one full cycle rotation for(int x = 0; x < 2000; x++) { Serial.println(" Forword "); digitalWrite(PIN_STEP1_STEP,HIGH); delayMicroseconds(50); digitalWrite(PIN_STEP1_STEP,LOW); delayMicroseconds(50); } delay(1000); // One second delay
digitalWrite(PIN_STEP1_DIRECTION,LOW); //Changes the rotations direction // Makes 400 pulses for making two full cycle rotation for(int x = 0; x < 2000; x++) { Serial.println(" Reverse "); digitalWrite(PIN_STEP1_STEP,HIGH); delayMicroseconds(50); digitalWrite(PIN_STEP1_STEP,LOW); delayMicroseconds(50); } delay(1000);
Serial.print(" PressureA: "); Serial.println(mySensorA.readFloatPressure(), 0);
//Serial.print(" PressureB: "); //Serial.println(mySensorB.readFloatPressure(), 0);
Serial.println();
delay(500); }
When I browse thingspeak,It loading so slow and can't read data from my project
I am trying to migrate a project that used to post from an Arduino with a Tinysine Wifly shield (from Roving networks) to a php form/mysql db using this code snippet:
void reportToCloud() {
data = "";
Serial.println("Reporting to cloud...");
if (wifly.available() > 0) {
char ch = wifly.read();
Serial.write(ch);
if (ch == '\n') {
/* add a carriage return */
Serial.write('\r');
}
}
if (wifly.open(site, 80)) {
Serial.print("Connected to ");
Serial.println(site); // Set data to send
static char outstr1[15];
static char outstr2[15];
static char outstr3[15];
static char outstr4[15]; String dataString1 = dtostrf(uvindex, 8, 2, outstr1);
String dataString2 = dtostrf(mq2ratio, 8, 2, outstr2);
String dataString3 = dtostrf(CO2PPM, 8, 2, outstr3);
String dataString4 = dtostrf(temperature, 8, 2, outstr4);
data = String("uvindex=" + dataString1 + "&mq2=" + dataString2 + "&age=" + dataString3 + "&name=" + dataString4);
Serial.print(data); //name = temp && age = co2
//Reset all values
uvindex = 0;
mq2ratio = 0;
CO2PPM = 0;
temperature = 0; /* Send the request */
wifly.println("POST /arduino/data_post.php HTTP/1.0");
wifly.println("Host: www.santiapps.com"); // SERVER ADDRESS HERE TOO
wifly.println("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" );
wifly.print("Content-Length: ");
wifly.println(data.length());
wifly.println();
wifly.print(data);
Serial.println("Posted successfully");
} else {
Serial.println(">>Failed to connect");
} if (Serial.available() > 0) {
wifly.write(Serial.read());
} //Added Sat 14 Nov @820am
wifly.close();
}Now Im trying to make it post to thingspeak for improved analysis capabilities and what not. I get a post successful but I get no data in my thingspeak channel. I've checked the string used and its fine:
void reportToCloud() {
data = "";
Serial.println("Reporting to cloud...");
if (wifly.available() > 0) {
char ch = wifly.read();
Serial.write(ch);
if (ch == '\n') {
/* add a carriage return */
Serial.write('\r');
}
}
if (wifly.open(site, 80)) {
Serial.print("Connected to ");
Serial.println(site); // Set data to send
static char outstr3[15];
static char outstr4[15];
String dataString3 = "33.33";//dtostrf(33.33, 8, 2, outstr3);//dtostrf(CO2PPM, 8, 2, outstr3);
String dataString4 = "44.44";//dtostrf(44.44, 8, 2, outstr4);//dtostrf(temperature, 8, 2, outstr4);
data = String("field3=" + dataString3 + "&field4=" + dataString4);
//Serial.print(data); //for debugging //Reset all individual values
CO2PPM = 0;
temperature = 0; /* Send the request */
String postData = "POST /update?api_key=mykey&"+data+" HTTP/1.0";
//Serial.println(postData);
wifly.println("Host: api.thingspeak.com"); // SERVER ADDRESS HERE TOO
wifly.println("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" );
wifly.print("Content-Length: ");
wifly.println(postData.length());
wifly.println();
wifly.print(postData);
Serial.println("Posted successfully");
} else {
Serial.println(">>Failed to connect");
} if (Serial.available() > 0) {
wifly.write(Serial.read());
} //Added Sat 14 Nov @820am
wifly.close();
}postData is printed with this result:
printing co2... 87 105 102 108 121 45 87 101 98 false returned Free memory: 670 setPrompt hasnt been called Already joined network DeviceID: Wifly-WebClient2 Reporting to cloud... open santiapps.com 80 Connected to santiapps.com POST /update?api_key=mykey&field3=33.33&field4=44.44 HTTP/1.0 Posted successfully close: failed, no *CLOS* Reporting to cloud...
open santiapps.com 80 Connected to santiapps.com POST /update?api_key=mykey=33.33&field4=44.44 HTTP/1.0 Posted successfully close: failed, no *CLOS*
So basically the first snippet works fine and posts to the db via my php form and i can then read it off the db. The second snippet returns what seems to be a successful post but the data is not posted to thingspeak.
what happen to thingspeak? it also loading so slow. it happen for almost a week, until now it has not been like normal
I am using a Microsoft surface laptop (running on Microsoft RT) and using a Explorer browser (which unfortunately cannot be upgraded to Microsoft Edge, or replaced by Chrome or Firefox). Until end of August 2021 I could log into ThingSpeak, with the login (email) entry fields in page https/:thingspeak.com (after clicking "Get started for free"). However since end of August this email entry item does not appear anymore on the webpage of thingspeak.com on my Surface. So I can't login anymore and thus can't use Thingspeak anymore on my Surface RT laptop. This is rather frustrating. Is there a possibility of provide arguments to the URL so that I can login directly (e.g. https://thingspeak.com/login?email?password, or something similar) or do you know another way to login. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, I've been using ThingSpeak now for a number of years capturing temperature data from a Pi zero and Python. I currently use the Unsecured TCP option, but the recent email about moving to mqtt3 server suggests websockets. I've looked at the example and understand username, password and channel ID, but not what the Client ID is. Can someone tell me what this is please.
Many thanks Alastair
Afternoon Everyone, Looking for some help with my Arduino/Thingspeak sketch.
To give you an idea I have a Lora Sensor sending data to a Lora/Uno receiver, the data I receive is two strings, one for DO and one for Temp, in the parsepacket section below I convert the string to floats and use these as my fields for Thingspeak.
Currently the code allows a connection to Thingspeak, it also correctly associates the DO and Temp float variables with corresponding graphs on the channel.
However after the initial WiFi connection all that happens is zero is written to both graphs and only once, another write will not happen untill I reboot the Arduino.
I'm pretty certain that the order of my Loop is wrong.
My expected results are to write Temp and DO to Thingspeak every 30 seconds, with actual values, not 0. Currently a write happens once and Temp and DO are Zero, despite the packets being received correctly with actual values.
If I can clarify anything or better explain then please feel free to ask, I'm fairly new to this.
TIA. AC

I'd appreciate comment on whether I understand the limitations with MQTT and low power. Using deep sleep the ESP12 consumes microamps and my sensor is insignificant. The big drain on the battery is WiFi. Sending an MQTT message is taking around 10ms which seems at first sight promising. Unfortunately it looks to me like deep sleep ends the connection, and reconnection takes 4 or more seconds. I'd thought that deep sleep, static IP, and MQTT were the way to get very low power consumption but it looks to me like they don't solve the problem.

Hi , I am using M66 GSM Module to send and recv data over Thingspeak , TCP Connection : "api.thingspeak.com"; : Working Fine "GET /update?api_key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&field1=14"; : Send data to Server No Issue "GET https://api.thingspeak.com/update?api_key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&field1=12"; : Send sata to server No Issue .
But not able to see data in thingspeak view , it means thingspeak server not collecting data from M66 Module .
Could you please help the same .
Please can I run my MATLAB code on the cloud? The code involves calling the fuzzy logic toolbox for irrigation control and also collecting sensor data from farm.
Using the gauge widget works good, and the current value shows up below the gauge. But I've seen articles where the value is shown inside the gauge, not below it. It that possible to do? If so, how?
I do really like the ability of applying colors to ranges of the gauge's values. I'm plotting Air Quality AQI numbers and this works really well for that.
Thanks,
Rick
