@neil20 Hey, thanks! WOW! That’s awesome it worked for you as well. Hope it ends up being helpful!

I will say, it wasn’t a quick process. It was a lot of jumping back and forth between ThingSpeak documentation and code, but I was SUPER excited when it finally uploaded.

Aaaah, ok, that makes sense. Thank you!

Hi all! Thank you for all of your feedback and tips! I spent some time this week looking at the mqtt3.thingspeak.com server and I was able to get a channel up and running on it.

Overall, it’s not drastically different than mqtt.thingspeak.com. The main aspect being removed in the legacy Thingspeak server is the API…[Read more]

@shicks Aaaah, sorry to hear that. Hopefully the fix won’t be too bad.

Thanks for posting that code so quickly! I didn’t have time to look at it until today. I had an older version of Modular Sensors downloaded and so I tried running it with the code you sent and with a few edits in order to get it logging to thingspeak, it was practically plug…[Read more]

Hey @shicks. Thanks for the lightning fast response.

That worked! Just had to download it from the link you sent.

Really excited to start working with the v1.0! Thank you all for your great hardware, communication, documentation, and quick responses!

@neilh20. Hey Neil! Sorry it’s been a while, but just a quick update. I was able to get it to work. I ended up purchasing a new XBee cellular modem (same type) alongside the Digi IoT Development Kit. Works great now!

I’m thinking the issue was either that I had set up the modem with a board that wasn’t the dedicated XCTU board (I was using the…[Read more]

Ok, thanks Neil. I’ll look into it.

@vogelrnws Ah, ok! Awesome, thank you. And is there a place to put the apn in the main code?

@vogelrnws Hi there! So I uploaded the files onto the Xbee and used a python editor to change the main.py file. Is there any arduino code you would recommend using alongside this approach?

Awesome, thank you. That worked

@vogelrnws Ok, thank you. If you need my email, zholloman54@gmail.com

@vogelrnws I was spending some time looking at the cellular stuff and I decided I’d try to use the python example you used, but I can’t seem to access the files through the Google Drive. Also, I don’t think I currently have a python editor. What is a good one that you would suggest? Thanks

@neilh20 Ok, that sounds good. I just sent the details to your email. Let me know if it still works.

@vogelrnws Thank you for sending that. I’ll be sure to take a look at it if ThingSpeak doesn’t work.

@neilh20 I tried running the code with your ModularSensors library, and it still didn’t work. The apn I’m using is hologram. If I am using a Hologram SIM card, is that correct, or should I change the source to something else? Also, what is…[Read more]

Hi there @vogelrnws. Honestly, It’d be awesome if you could send that code. I’m still considering my options on the method to publish the data, but that could be helpful!

@neilh20, ok! I’ll try that. For some reason (not really sure why), the code all of a sudden started saying that it couldn’t connect to the internet for clock sync. I’m…[Read more]

Hey @neilh20. I just had a thought. The fact that the software works with the Digi WiFi S6B. Do you think that means its an issue with the actual cellular connection as opposed to the code?
