Currently i am able to send the 2 decimal data to thingspeak field. But i stuck on how to write 3 decimal places data to that field. Hope u guys can help.Here is my coding. #include PubSubClient.h // library used to publish the data through mqtt broker #include WiFiEsp.h // library for ESP8266 wifi #include EEPROM.h // library that GravityTds use #include GravityTDS.h // library that GravityTds use #include OneWire.h // Include the libraries for temperature #include DallasTemperature.h // Include the libraries for temperature #include SoftwareSerial.h // library for software serial to display output on the serial monitor
