Hello,
could it be that there is currently is a stability problem with the MQTT-Broker? I can establisth a connection successfully using the MQTTX client (web and win64 installation). I tried all possible ports an connection types. It disconnects all the time after a few seconds of establishing a connection successfully. So it was not possible to subscribe any item. I do not think the problem is in my side... By the way, protocol verision 3.1.1 ist supported, 5.0 not, am I right?
Maybe you could give me a hint,
Best regards,
Manfred
In one of my MATLAB projects, I want to add a button to an existing axes toolbar. The function for doing this is axtoolbarbtn:
axtoolbarbtn(tb,style,Name=Value)
However, I have found that the existing interfaces and behavior make it quite awkward to accomplish this task.
Here are my observations.
Adding a Button to the Default Axes Toolbar Is Unsupported
plot(1:10)
ax = gca;
tb = ax.Toolbar
Calling axtoolbarbtn on ax results in an error:
>> axtoolbarbtn(tb,"state")
Error using axtoolbarbtn (line 77)
Modifying the default axes toolbar is not supported.
Default Axes Toolbar Can't Be Distinguished from an Empty Toolbar
The Children property of the default axes toolbar is empty. Thus, it appears programmatically to have no buttons, just like an empty toolbar created by axtoolbar.
cla
plot(1:10)
ax = gca;
tb = ax.Toolbar;
tb.Children
ans = 0x0 empty GraphicsPlaceholder array.
tb2 = axtoolbar(ax);
tb2.Children
ans = 0x0 empty GraphicsPlaceholder array.
A Workaround
An empty axes toolbar seems to have no use except to initalize a toolbar before immediately adding buttons to it. Therefore, it seems reasonable to assume that an axes toolbar that appears to be empty is really the default toolbar. While we can't add buttons to the default axes toolbar, we can create a new toolbar that has all the same buttons as the default one, using axtoolbar("default"). And then we can add buttons to the new toolbar.
That observation leads to this workaround:
tb = ax.Toolbar;
if isempty(tb.Children)
% Assume tb is the default axes toolbar. Recreate
% it with the default buttons so that we can add a new
% button.
tb = axtoolbar(ax,"default");
end
btn = axtoolbarbtn(tb);
% Then set up the button as desired (icon, callback,
% etc.) by setting its properties.
As workarounds go, it's not horrible. It just seems a shame to have to delete and then recreate a toolbar just to be able to add a button to it.
The worst part about the workaround is that it is so not obvious. It took me a long time of experimentation to figure it out, including briefly giving it up as seemingly impossible.
The documentation for axtoolbarbtn avoids the issue. The most obvious example to write for axtoolbarbtn would be the first thing every user of it will try: add a toolbar button to the toolbar that gets created automatically in every call to plot. The doc page doesn't include that example, of course, because it wouldn't work.
My Request
I like the axes toolbar concept and the axes interactivity that it promotes, and I think the programming interface design is mostly effective. My request to MathWorks is to modify this interface to smooth out the behavior discontinuity of the default axes toolbar, with an eye towards satisfying (and documenting) the general use case that I've described here.
One possible function design solution is to make the default axes toolbar look and behave like the toolbar created by axtoolbar("default"), so that it has Children and so it is modifiable.
I am curious as to how my goal can be accomplished in Matlab.
The present APP called "Matching Network Designer" works quite well, but it is limited to a single section of a "PI", a "TEE", or an "L" topology circuit.
This limits the bandwidth capability of the APP when the intended use is to create an amplifier design intended for wider bandwidth projects.
I am requesting that a "Broadband Matching Network Designer" APP be developed by you, the MathWorks support team.
One suggestion from me is to be able to cascade a second section (or "pole") to the first.
Then the resulting topology would be capable of achieving that wider bandwidth of the microwave amplifier project where it would be later used with the transistor output and input matching networks.
Instead of limiting the APP to a single frequency, the entire s parameter file would be used as an input.
The APP would convert the polar s parameters to rectangular scaler complex impedances that you already use.
At that point, having started out with the first initial center frequency, the other frequencies both greater than and less than the center would come into use by an optimization of the circuit elements.
I'm hoping that you will be able to take on this project.
I can include an attachment of such a Matching Network Designer APP that you presently have if you like.
That network is centered at 10 GHz.

Hello,
Now that the "Copilot+PC" (Windows ARM) laptops are rapidly increasing in market share (Microsoft Surface Laptop, Dell XPS 13, HP OmniBook X 14, and more), are there any plans to provide builds for Matlab on Windows arm64?
Since there are already Windows builds of Matlab, it shouldn't be too hard to compile for Windows arm64, as far as I know. But I am not famaliar with Matlab's codebase.
Please try to publish Windows arm64 builds soon so that Matlab can be much more usable on Windows on ARM as it will run natively instead of in emulation.
Thank you very much.
Dear Sir,
I login my channel in a device using my user name and password (also client id & password) but when I also login using the same user name and password in another device, the first one connection was forced disconnected. I want to publish via thinkspeak mqtt by using the two devices. Please advise how I can do it. Can I use the same thinkspeak user name to login? Is it needed to have another thinkspeak user to login? In this case, please also advise. Many thanks.

We’d like to announce a change on the Machine Translation feature on MATLAB Answers.
When users are visiting our international domains (e.g. China or Japan), Answers provides the option to translate the content. Recently, we identified several security threats involving high-volume requests from certain IP addresses targeting our translation service.
As one of the countermeasures, we have now placed the Machine Translation feature behind a login requirement. While non-logged-in users will still see the 'Translate' button, it will be inactive (greyed out) until they log in.
We are actively collaborating with adjacent teams to develop solutions to better detect and block malicious requests.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
I have a device that via GPRS publish correctly, after autentication to the server mqtt3.thingspeak.com , a lot of datas like:
.{"sensorDatas":[{"flag":"COUNT","value":1},...........,{"flag":"AI1","value":25.80}]}
I configure a correct Channel with a field called AI1, but I can't fill it with that value 25.80.
I am sure that the device communicate to the server the string {"flag":"AI1","value":25.80} but nothing.
Could you tell me what I have to do? Probably I have to write some software code, may someone help me?
Are there some examples for a beginner like me?
Thank you very much
Hello
I am trying to connect Thingspeak to ibfluxdb. Is that possible? how you do that??
Speaking as someone with 31+ years of experience developing and using imshow, I want to advocate for retiring and replacing it.
The function imshow has behaviors and defaults that were appropriate for the MATLAB and computer monitors of the 1990s, but which are not the best choice for most image display situations in today's MATLAB. Also, the 31 years have not been kind to the imshow code base. It is a glitchy, hard-to-maintain monster.
My new File Exchange function, imview, illustrates the kind of changes that I think should be made. The function imview is a much better MATLAB graphics citizen and produces higher quality image display by default, and it dispenses with the whole fraught business of trying to resize the containing figure. Although this is an initial release that does not yet support all the useful options that imshow does, it does enough that I am prepared to stop using imshow in my own work.
The Image Processing Toolbox team has just introduced in R2024b a new image viewer called imageshow, but that image viewer is created in a special-purpose window. It does not satisfy the need for an image display function that works well with the axes and figure objects of the traditional MATLAB graphics system.
I have published a blog post today that describes all this in more detail. I'd be interested to hear what other people think.
Note: Yes, I know there is an Image Processing Toolbox function called imview. That one is a stub for an old toolbox capability that was removed something like 15+ years ago. The only thing the toolbox imview function does now is call error. I have just submitted a support request to MathWorks to remove this old stub.
The int function in the Symbolic Toolbox has a hold/release functionality wherein the expression can be held to delay evaluation
syms x I
eqn = I == int(x,x,'Hold',true)
which allows one to show the integral, and then use release to show the result
release(eqn)
Maybe it would be nice to be able to hold/release any symbolic expression to delay the engine from doing evaluations/simplifications that it typically does. For example:
x*(x+1)/x, sin(sym(pi)/3)
If I'm trying to show a sequence of steps to develop a result, maybe I want to explicitly keep the x/x in the first case and then say "now the x in the numerator and denominator cancel and the result is ..." followed by the release command to get the final result.
Perhaps held expressions could even be nested to show a sequence of results upon subsequent releases.
Held expressions might be subject to other limitations, like maybe they can't be fplotted.
Seems like such a capability might not be useful for problem solving, but might be useful for exposition, instruction, etc.
We will be updating the MATLAB Answers infrastructure at 1PM EST today. We do not expect any disruption of service during this time. However, if you notice any issues, please be patient and try again later. Thank you for your understanding.
I am using a micro:bit device with ESP8266 for a IOT project, but cannot connect thingspeak recently.
The conncection is unstable, I can hardly connect to thingspeak for days, somehow it works last night for 30 mins and then it fails.
The program does not change and I have included a 25 sec delayed between each data sending.
Please advice why and how to fix it. Thank you.
I am using the ELECFREAKS IOT:bit Expansion Board with micro:bit to record data, it worked normally but in this week I tested again, and discover no data is uploaded to the channel ie.no entries in channel. The code in makecode are the same as before and the wifi is work, I cannot find the reason that cause this failure.
I am using the free option with 4 channels available. I do not have any channels listed, but when I want to create a new channel it gives me an error massage to say that I have used up my 4 channels and need to purchase units to create additional channels.

Hello
I have 3 devices (IOT board using SIM7600 module) sending one value to Thingsspeak. Have been working just fine a couple of years. However 14/11-24 I receive http error code 406 for all 3 devices.
The http get is working just fine when testing directly in the browser (https://api.thingspeak.com/update?api_key=xxxxx&field1=33), the server return the entrie number.
However, when running the same address via SIM7600 I receive - +HTTPACTION: 0,406,0
Any tips for the 406 error code?
