I recently found some interesting hardware in a demo on Hackster. The Magicbit is an ESP32-based project platform. It includes some plug and play sensors and a built-in display on a brightly colored PCB. The demo shows how to send the data collected by the Magicbit to ThingSpeak. You can see how to use the Arduino IDE to program the device, using the ThingSpeak library for Arduino, ESP 8266, and ESP32 . Of course, once you get the data into ThingSpeak, you can use the integrated MATLAB to do just about anything with the data. The Magicbit is funded from a Kickstarter campaign .

I have Thingspeak MATLAB visualizations that I call using https://thingspeak.com/apps/matlab_visualizations/nnnnn?width=800&height=700 (where nnnnn is the visualization number). In the MATLAB code, is it possible to determine the width and height parameters that were sent, in this case 800 and 700?

Thanks! Tom

Hi all, The ThingSpeak API provides the possibility to embed the chart with historical values of a channel in a web page. Now I would also like to show the last value of a channel as a number on this page. I looked into some of the answers. But I could not understand. Can someone please share the JavaScript code OR the HTML code? I am new to ThingSpeak and Web Development. Please help me out!!

Thank you, Prajna Bhat

I'm accessing internet on my Arduino uno using esp-01, is there a thingspeak Library i can use on this to send data to my thingspeak channel.

ESP32 support for MATLAB

Are you using ESP32 and want to help us develop functionality for it? We are looking to add support for ESP32 boards in MATLAB. If you have experience with ESP32 and care to share your workflows with us, please let me know here and we will reach out to you for a short interview.

ThingSpeak includes an integration with The Things Stack to support collection of data over a long range network. I made a short presentation for this upcoming conference that shows you how to add the ThingSpeak integration to your Things Stack project. The agenda seems to be filled with other useful IoT talks. Here is the information on the conference:

Discover the next-generation #LoRaWAN deployments at The Things Stack Conference. Explore advanced LoRaWAN features, cloud integrations and the next-generation #IoT devices at #TheThingsConference - TheThings Stack Edition, online on 28 May 2021!

Registrations are now open: – ow.ly/I1PZ30mNt0I

Our ThingSpeak channels stopped updating their dashboards at 20:08 BST. We can see other public channels aren't updating too from this time.

Our code for writing to ThingSpeak is returning a 202 success, indicating it is successful, suggesting that data is still being written.

Are any ThingSpeak services down?

Hello

From earlier today a project i've been working on has stopped working. It was working for the last couple of weeks with no coding updates in the mean time.

The error i'm only now getting is

"from origin 'null' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource."

Im transferring four readings from thingspeak to a web page

the get command i'm using is. xhttp.open("GET", "https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/752230/feeds/last", false); xhttp.send();

Why would i only start receiving this error today. If more information is needed i will send it on.

any insights would be much appreciated.

Thanks

This is a very basic thing but I am just beginning and I can't find the solution. When I increase the iframe width and height, the outside frame gets bigger but the graphs itself stay the same size. I read in a forum that suggests "auto" sizing feature by changing the iframe's src URL to something like the following:

http://thingspeak.com/channels/423600_ID/charts/2?width=auto&height=auto

I did and the size of the graph did scale well. However, the Number of entries to retrieve is default, which 100. Which means that after the first 100 points, as more entries comes, the first ones disappears. Please how can i increase the number of entries, lets say to the maximum?

Thank you in advance.

Display channel data on echo show

Hi, i was wondering if there is defined skill or some other way to display channel data on an amazon echo show device?

Introducing the new ThingSpeak community

We have created a new community for users of ThingSpeak. This new community is for students, researchers, and engineers looking to use MATLAB, Simulink, and ThingSpeak for Internet of Things applications. You can find the latest ThingSpeak news, tutorials to jump-start your next IoT project, and a forum to engage in a discussion on your latest cloud-based project. You can see answers to problems other users have solved and share how you solved a problem.

Christopher Stapels will be moderating the new ThingSpeak community .

We encourage you to visit the new community and share best practices, examples, and ask questions.

I'm presently working on an Air Quality monitor to be able to check the status of my environment and remote environments on ThingSpeak. I was planning on using the BME680 sensor. Does anyone have any experience with this or other air quality sensors? I'm looking probably for CO2 and the like (Volatile Organics), not so much particle sensors, though a combination may be best.

How many fields is enough?

Right now ThingSpeak supports up to 8 fields of data plus the status and three position fields. If you could have more fields, how many would you want? I have one channel of control settings for a project that I would have used up to 12, but no more than that.

Did you know you can change your user id? We went through a short time where everyone was auto assigned a long user id with 'mwa' and a bunch of numbers that couldn't be changed. You can now make it something more relevant to your actual IoT persona. Click on your user picture or icon on the upper right. Select 'My Profile' and click the Edit button under username. Share your interesting IoT themed names here.

One great thing about IoT projects is they are connected to the internet, and that creates an opportunity to collaborate at a distance. Here are resources to help you teach classes that involve remote learning.

  • Record and visualize your experiment's data in ThingSpeak channels. For example, this public soil monitor channel shows measurements from a sensor connected to a plant. You can see the ThingSpeak example pages for help getting your experiment connected.

Figure 1: Fitvirus sample results.

When you can’t make it into the lab, use ThingSpeak to monitor and control your lab equipment for experiments and for teaching.

  • When you use ThingSpeak channel values to control your hardware modes, students can run experiments from home, and even collaborate with others to control devices and collect data for analysis.

Figure 2: Sample ThingSpeak lab model.

  • Build a simulation model to deploy on hardware and control it remotely. Watch this video to see how you can do both simulation and deployment in the same Simulink model. You can also download the models used in the video.
  • Use ThingSpeak to analyze your data. Use the provided code templates (like this one for removing outliers from wind speed data) or custom MATLAB code to filter and analyze your data and schedule it to run at regular intervals.
