Hey, thanks @neilh20. I added that and uploaded the program and this was the serial monitor output. What does dataPublisherBase refer to?

Now running logging_to_thingspeak.ino on Logger logger

This logger has a variable array with 5 variables, of which 4 come from 2 sensors and 1 are calculated.

And from here it just cycles with the same stuff…

Also, I was having trouble finding the stream debugger line (#if defined STREAMDEBUGGER_DBG) you were mentioning earlier in the ModularSensors library. Do you know where that would be located?

[Zeke Holloman]

Hi there! Thank you @neilh20 and @vogelrnws for all of your help! Yeah, based on what I’m seeing, I don’t think its been connecting at all. I have been checking the channel I’m using whenever I’m trying to connect and no data has been popping up in the fields. It’s only got like, 5 fields, so it’s not too complicated either. Sorry, I’m somewhat new to PlatformIO, where do I type this stuff?

Ok! Sounds good; thanks. @neilh20, do you have any experience with ThingSpeak or do you have any advice for this issue?

[Zeke Holloman]

Hi! Thank you for the quick response. Yeah, I already registered a channel with ThingSpeak, and I’ve put the stuff for that into lines 201-206 (the stuff in the sketch above is just placeholders), and running it with those keys and ID’s still doesn’t work. I’d wondered if mqtt.thingspeak.com had been changed to a different URL recently. Is there anything in ThingSpeakPublisher.cpp or ThingSpeakPublisher.h that I need to change?
