So, what seem to be the problem then!?. To bad that i didnt exported the data when it still worked(streaming entries). Can we talk on social like skype, dicord, anything.I really need to get done my project this month. Please help!
I’m sorry, that’s not really a service we offer for free users. I haven’t used a sense hat. I would recommend trying to write without interfacing with the sensehat. There is an example in the ThingSpeak doc , but it’s a little out of date, I'm not sure it works in Python 3. (update coming soon). Anyone else on this forum have experience with the sense hat?
Are you able to update your channel in a web browser? Use the format https://api.thingspeak.com/update?api_key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&field1=0 but fill in your write API key. If that works, but the pi still does not, then please share the part of the code on your pi that is updating ThingSpeak.
Yes!I am able to update entries through browser!In attachment i provided code of the project in src directory(.py files and 2 sh files).
Its good that you can update your channel, that means you must have the syntax correct for that part at least. We need you to share the parts of your code where you are connecting to ThingSpeak and sending the data, not the whole file. And what you are seeing in the code output when you run the file (please)
I see!Ok i will. import logging import logging.config import os.path
from flask import Flask from flask import render_template from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler from datastore import DataStore from sensehatwrapper import SenseHatWrapper
app = Flask(__name__) app.config.update( THINGSPEAK_WRITE_KEY="abcd1234", THINGSPEAK_CHANNEL='my_channel' ) app.config.from_envvar('WEATHERSTATION_SETTINGS', silent=True)
logger = logging.getLogger() datastore = DataStore(app.config['THINGSPEAK_CHANNEL'], app.config['THINGSPEAK_WRITE_KEY']) sensehat = SenseHatWrapper()
def setup(): # Set up logging logging.config.fileConfig(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "logging.conf"))
setup()
def collect_data(): logger.debug('Running data collection') weatherdata = sensehat.get_weather_data() datastore.save_data(weatherdata)
def update_display(): logger.debug('Running display update') sensehat.write_data_to_display()
scheduler = BackgroundScheduler() scheduler.start() scheduler.add_job(collect_data, 'interval', minutes=1) scheduler.add_job(update_display, 'interval', minutes=1)
@app.route('/') def index(): logger.debug('Calling app root') weatherdata = sensehat.get_weather_data() return render_template('index.html', weatherdata=weatherdata)
I am not familiar with the sensehat library. Is it verified to work? Are you using their sample code?
Yes.But i was thinking maybe when i force shutdown the pi(unplugged) something happened.Or maybe i have a reatriction on entries number(how many entries could a student can have?)
Do you have a paid student license or are you using the free license? The total number of entries allowed is very large in either case, but the is a difference in how frequently you can update your channel.
A free license!So how often can i update my channel?
Free license holders can update a channel once every 15 seconds.
Ok.Can we speak/talk more details?How can i contact you?
Is ok?Am I missing something?
Ty for reply!I will try tomorrow and return with feedback.
