Have been using Thingspeak for a few years, suddenly I get this message relating to one of my Matlab analysis scripts, which has run for years:

Hi,
I am trying to use an esp32 board with quectal ec200u LTE Modem to send sensor data to thingspeak. The board can process the sensor data however I am unable to send the data to thingspeak. I have used the same process earlier too however with a different modem from Simcom.
Can someone help me with specific commands for achieving this? I can share the code which i am trying to use.
Regards
Aditya
Good morning everyone. I’m having a problem with ThingSpeak. I’m sending data from an ESP LoRa with the RTC set to the Brasília time zone (GMT-3).
Previously, when I exported the data to CSV, it used the ThingSpeak time, which appeared 3 hours ahead. Now that I’m sending the timestamp from the ESP, the graphs are showing the data 3 hours behind. Is there a way to align the graph times while keeping the Brazilian time zone?
Hello All,
This is my first post here so I hope its in the right place,
I have built myself a GW consisting of a RAK2245 concentrator and a Raspberry Pi, Also an Arduino end device from this link https://tum-gis-sensor-nodes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dragino_lora_arduino_shield/README.html
Both projects work fine and connect to TTN whereby packets of data from the end device can be seen in the TTN console.
I now want to create a Webhook in TTN for Thingspeak which would hopefull allow me to see Temperature , Humidity etc in graphical form.
My question, does thingspeak support homebuilt devices or is it focused on comercially built devices ?
I have spent many hours trying to find data hosting site that is comepletely free for a few devices and not to complicated to setup as some seem to be a nightmare. Thanks for any support .
How can I found my license I'd and password, so please provide me my id
A coworker shared with me a hilarious Instagram post today. A brave bro posted a short video showing his MATLAB code… casually throwing 49,000 errors!
Surprisingly, the video went virial and recieved 250,000+ likes and 800+ comments. You really never know what the Instagram algorithm is thinking, but apparently “my code is absolutely cooked” is a universal developer experience 😂
Last note: Can someone please help this Bro fix his code?
Is it possible to display a variable value within the ThingSpeak plot area?
I’m currently developing a multi-platform viewer using Flutter to eliminate the hassle of manual channel setup. Instead of adding IDs one by one, the app uses your User API Key to automatically discover and list all your ThingSpeak channels instantly.
Key Highlights (Work in Progress):
- Automatic Sync: All your channels appear in seconds.
- Multi-platform: Built for Web, Android, Windows, and Linux.
- Privacy-Focused: Secure local storage for your API keys.
I can't believe someone put time into this ;-)
Hi everyone
I've been using ThingSpeak for several years now without an issue until last Thursday.
I have four ThingSpeak channels which are used by three Arduino devices (in two locations/on two distinct networks) all running the same code.
All three devices stopped being able to write data to my ThingSpeak channels around 17:00 CET on 4 Dec and are still unable to.
Nothing changed on this side, let alone something that would explain the problem.
I would note that data can still be written to all the channels via a browser so there is no fundamental problem with the channels (such as being full).
Since the above date and time, any HTTP/1.1 'update' (write) requests via the REST API (using both simple one-write GET requests or bulk JSON POST requests) are timing out after 5 seconds and no data is being written. The 5 second timeout is my Arduino code's default, but even increasing it to 30 seconds makes no difference. Before all this, responses from ThingSpeak were sub-second.
I have recompiled the Arduino code using the latest libraries and that didn't help.
I have tested the same code again another random api (api.ipify.org) and that works just fine.
Curl works just fine too, also usng HTTP/1.1
So the issue appears to be something particular to the combination of my Arduino code *and* the ThingSpeak environment, where something changed on the ThingSpeak end at the above date and time.
If anyone in the community has any suggestions as to what might be going on, I would greatly appreciate the help.
Peter

Hello,
I have Arduino DIY Geiger Counter, that uploads data to my channel here in ThingSpeak (3171809), using ESP8266 WiFi board. It sends CPM values (counts per minute), Dose, VCC and Max CPM for 24h. They are assignet to Field from 1 to 4 respectively. How can I duplicate Field 1, so I could create different time chart for the same measured unit? Or should I duplicate Field 1 chart, and how? I tried to find the answer here in the blog, but I couldn't.
I have to say that I'm not an engineer or coder, just can simply load some Arduino sketches and few more things, so I'll be very thankfull if someone could explain like for non-IT users.
Regards,
Emo

Hey everyone,
I’m currently working with MATLAB R2025b and using the MQTT blocks from the Industrial Communication Toolbox inside Simulink. I’ve run into an issue that’s driving me a bit crazy, and I’m not sure if it’s a bug or if I’m missing something obvious.
Here’s what’s happening:
- I open the MQTT Configure block.
- I fill out all the required fields — Broker address, Port, Client ID, Username, and Password.
- When I click Test Connection, it says “Connection established successfully.” So far so good.
- Then I click Apply, close the dialog, set the topic name, and try to run the simulation.
- At this point, I get the following error:Caused by: Invalid value for 'ClientID', 'Username' or 'Password'.
- When I reopen the MQTT config block, I notice that the Password field is empty again — even though I definitely entered it before and the connection test worked earlier.
It seems like Simulink is somehow not saving the password after hitting Apply, which leads to the authentication error during simulation.
Has anyone else faced this? Is this a bug in R2025b, or do I need to configure something differently to make the password persist?
Would really appreciate any insights, workarounds, or confirmations from anyone who has used MQTT in Simulink recently.
Thanks in advance!
Inspired by @xingxingcui's post about old MATLAB versions and @유장's post about an old Easter egg, I thought it might be fun to share some MATLAB-Old-Timer Stories™.
Back in the early 90s, MATLAB had been ported to MacOS, but there were some interesting wrinkles. One that kept me earning my money as a computer lab tutor was that MATLAB required file names to follow Windows standards - no spaces or other special characters. But on a Mac, nothing stopped you from naming your script "hello world - 123.m". The problem came when you tried to run it. MATLAB was essentially doing an eval on the script name, assuming the file name would follow Windows (and MATLAB) naming rules.
So now imagine a lab full of students taking a university course. As is common in many universities, the course was given a numeric code. For whatever historical reason, my school at that time was also using numeric codes for the departments. Despite being told the rules for naming scripts, many students would default to something like "26.165 - 1.1" for problem one on HW1 for the intro applied math course 26.165.
No matter what they did in their script, when they ran it, MATLAB would just say "ans = 25.0650".
Nothing brings you more MATLAB-god credibility as a student tutor than walking over to someone's computer, taking one look at their output, saying "rename your file", and walking away like a boss.
It was 2010 when I was a sophomore in university. I chose to learn MATLAB because of a mathematical modeling competition, and the university provided MATLAB 7.0, a very classic release. To get started, I borrowed many MATLAB books from the library and began by learning simple numerical calculations, plotting, and solving equations. Gradually I was drawn in by MATLAB’s powerful capabilities and became interested; I often used it as a big calculator for fun. That version didn’t have MATLAB Live Script; instead it used MATLAB Notebook (M-Book), which allowed MATLAB functions to be used directly within Microsoft Word, and it also had the Symbolic Math Toolbox’s MuPAD interactive environment. These were later gradually replaced by Live Scripts introduced in R2016a. There are many similar examples...
Out of curiosity, I still have screenshots on my computer showing MATLAB 7.0 running compatibly. I’d love to hear your thoughts?
