Hi,
I have some problem, I want to upload my data that sample rate at 500HZ, every sevral seconds.
My data include 12 bytes, and it measure 500HZ, for example for 15 seconds I coolect 15*500*12 = 84KB.
Can I upload this data to ThingSpeak? It is possible to use with Free acount (I am student and this is my project)
How can help me..

It may be possible to upload this data to Thingspeak, even with the free account, but Im not sure its the right workflow. ThingSpeak is generally not optimized for high data rate applications. The data is live and sharable, but the database can be eventually cosistant, not immedeiately in some cases, especially with high data rate.
The bulk update endpoing allows up to 960 messages per post approximentally every 15-20 seconds. Each field has 256 characters, for 8 fields and locations and status, you can get about 4kB in a single post. For 960 messages, you can do about 192 kB per second, so your data rate may be possible, depending on your network and device.
However, as I said above, this may be difficulat to achieve. I would reccomend you do some proocessing on the edge device and reduce the data in your stream.
