Hi
i'm trying to send data on thinkspeak for 3 fields. But thingspeak is not showing any graphical representation despite entries.
I reduced the update time to 10 and still didn't get anything
This is my code:
//Include the ESP8266 WiFi library.
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
//Local Network Settings.
char ssid[] = "AndroidAP5723"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "hookuyte"; // your network password
const byte buttonPin = 4;
const byte potentiometerPin = A0;
char thingSpeakAddress[]= "api.thingspeak.com";// Host address URL
String APIKey = "**************";//Blanked out for security reasons
const int updateThingSpeakInterval = 20 * 1000;// every 20 secs
//Initialize wifi client
WiFiClient client;
void setup() {
//Set the baud rate for Serial Communication
Serial.begin(115200);
delay(2000);
//Display what SSiD you are connecting to.
Serial.println();
Serial.print("Connecting to ");
Serial.println(ssid);
//Connect to the Access.
WiFi.begin(ssid,pass);
//Now we establish a connection to the access point
while(WiFi.status()!= WL_CONNECTED)
{
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
}
}//Close setup
void loop() {
//Read Sensor Data
int potentiometerReading = analogRead(potentiometerPin);
boolean buttonReading = digitalRead(buttonPin);
//Convert sensor data into String objects
String potentiometerField = String(potentiometerReading);
String buttonField = String(buttonReading);
String randomNumberField = String(random (0, 42));
/* Concatenate the field into one string object
* which we can send as the Message body
*/
String thingSpeakData = "field1=" + potentiometerField+ "&field2=" + buttonField + "&field3=" + randomNumberField;
//Establish a connection with ThingSpeak
if(client.connect(thingSpeakAddress, 80)){
//Send the Message Start-Line (Method URI protocolVersion).
client.println("POST /update HTTP/1.1");
//Send the HTTP Header Field
client.println("Host: api.thingspeak.com");
client.println("Connection: close");
client.println("X-THINGSPEAKAPIKEY: " + APIKey);
client.println("Contect-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
client.print("Content-Lenght: ");
client.println(thingSpeakData.length());
client.println();// Header fields are complete
//Send Message Body
client.print(thingSpeakData);
//check if connection to thingSpeak was established
if (client.connected()){
Serial.println("Connected to thingSpeak.");
Serial.println();
}
//Display info to Serial Monitor for troublShooting
Serial.print("Potentiometer [Field 1]= " );
Serial.print(potentiometerField);
Serial.print(" Button [Field 2] = " );
Serial.print(buttonField);
Serial.print(" Random [Field 3] = " );
Serial.print(randomNumberField);
delay(updateThingSpeakInterval);
}
}
