Not getting reading multiple senaors data from thingspeak

i am using arduino mega and esp 01.i am getting reading on serial monitor.but thingspeak shows 0 for 5 sensors data fields.where is the problem in this code please help me.

Esp 01 code-

#include "ThingSpeak.h" #include ESP8266WiFi.h

char ssid[] = "xxxxxxx"; // SSID here char pass[] = "xxxxxxxx"; // Passowrd here

unsigned long Channel_ID = xxxxxx; // Channel ID const char * myWriteAPIKey = "xxxxxxxx"; // Write API key

const int Field_Number_1 = 1; const int Field_Number_2 = 2; const int Field_Number_3 = 3; const int Field_Number_4 = 4; const int Field_Number_5 = 5; String value = ""; int value_1 = 0, value_2 = 0, value_3 = 0, value_4 = 0, value_5 = 0; WiFiClient client;

void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); ThingSpeak.begin(client); internet(); }

void loop() { internet(); if (Serial.available() > 0) { delay(100); while (Serial.available() > 0) { value = Serial.readString(); if (value[0] == '*') { if (value[11] == '#') { value_1 = ((value[1] - 0x30) * 10 + (value[2] - 0x30)); value_2 = ((value[3] - 0x30) * 10 + (value[4] - 0x30)); value_3 = ((value[5] - 0x30) * 10 + (value[6] - 0x30)); value_4 = ((value[7] - 0x30) * 10 + (value[8] - 0x30)); value_5 = ((value[9] - 0x30) * 10 + (value[10] - 0x30)); }

      }
    }
  }
  upload();
}

void internet() { if (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) { while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) { WiFi.begin(ssid, pass); delay(5000); } } }

void upload() { ThingSpeak.writeField(Channel_ID, Field_Number_1, value_1, myWriteAPIKey); delay(15000); ThingSpeak.writeField(Channel_ID, Field_Number_2, value_2, myWriteAPIKey); delay(15000); ThingSpeak.writeField(Channel_ID, Field_Number_3, value_3, myWriteAPIKey); delay(15000); ThingSpeak.writeField(Channel_ID, Field_Number_4, value_4, myWriteAPIKey); delay(15000); ThingSpeak.writeField(Channel_ID, Field_Number_5, value_5, myWriteAPIKey); delay(15000); value = ""; }

I'd start by trying to write one data from the ESP.

Just hard code something and make sure it writes to ThingSpeak. Take all the other writes out.

ThingSpeak.writeField(Channel_ID, Field_Number_2, 123, myWriteAPIKey);

Move the delay after the upload in the loop function so it doesnt get called too often.

upload();

delay(15000);

When you are ready to put the five reads back in, look at the write multiple fields example (in the arduino library examples) so you can use ThingSpeak,writeFields() after ThingSpeak.addField. You wont have to have all the delay in you upload function. You can write up to 8 fields in one command. (as long as they are in teh same channel.

Hi.

I am sending temperature data from 2 sensor installed on NODEMCU ESP8266. (I am using I2C comunication). Each sensor data is being sent to a single field of a channnel. the problem is that both fields are showing the tempreature of the first sensor. Could you please check the below code and let me know the problem?

// Connect GND of HC05 to GND of Arduino

// Connect VCC of HC05 to 5V of Arduino

// Connect TXD of HC05 to pin 10 of Arduino

// Connect RXD of HC05 to pin 11 of Arduino

#include <SPI.h> //Load SPI comunication library

#include <Arduino.h>

#include <Wire.h>

#include <Adafruit_MLX90614.h>

String apiKey = "S9GZAP184MGDRTJKKGX"; // Enter your Write API key from ThingSpeak

const char *ssid = "ijgxsdta"; // replace with your wifi ssid and wpa2 key

void tcaselect(uint8_t i) {

if (i > 7) return;

Wire.beginTransmission(TCAADDR0);

Wire.write(1 << i);

Wire.endTransmission();

}

////////////CLOSING THE FIRST MUX IN THE PORTS

void endtcaselect(){

Wire.beginTransmission(TCAADDR0);

Wire.write(0); // no channel selected

Wire.endTransmission();

}

void setup() {

// put your setup code here, to run once:

Serial.println("Adafruit MLX90614 test");

How doew the device know the difference between the mlx sensors? I don't see an address or pin number definition anywhere.

[BEHNAM MOBARAKI .]

Dear Christopher. Many thanks for the response. I am using I2C communication for connection of the two sensors to the NODEMCU ESP8266. Therefore, I utilized multiplexer TCA9548 and connected the two sensors to the pins number (0) and (1) of the multiplexer. In the last few lines of the NODEMCU code (two Bold lines) I am defining the pin number that sensors are connected (see the below few lines of the code plz). In the serial monitor of the Arduini IDE everything is fine and the output of the two sensors are clear. But in the fields of the channel no. I am not sure if the two fields of the ThingSpeak distingush these two sensors or not?!!!

endtcaselect();

tcaselect(0);

Serial.print("Amb-1 = ");

Serial.print(mlx1.readAmbientTempC());

endtcaselect();

tcaselect(1);

Serial.print(" Amb-2 = ");

Serial.print(mlx2.readAmbientTempC());

}
