I had the same issue previously. I have been working in the ai services domain for a while, and when registered for the thingspeak I wasn't able to connect to the account.
Could you please recheck the following steps? Just make sure you follow these.
  • Sign up for a new User Account https://thingspeak.com
  • Create a new Channel by selecting Channels, My Channels, and then New Channel
  • Note the Write API Key and Channel ID

Thank you for your answer. I signed up with thingspeak.com getting started for free and then created a new channel the same way you advise. I only use API Key in micro:bit. But I tried it through KidsIoT (similar service to ThingSpeak) and I got same result. Its not possible to connect this service, although I am connected to wifi or hotspot. I don't know where a I make mistake...:(

Can you add something in your code to make sure the wifi connection works? Perhaps you could have it flash a light? Or is there a serial debug port for this device?
