Just wanted to say thanks for the great videos you are putting out. It is exactly what I needed to help me learn MIT App Inventor to develop an app with Arduino data for my engineering project at university. Hope you don't mind if I send you some messages about questions I have to help get the project off the ground. Keep up the good work!!
This series is helping me so much currently on my A Level computer science project (I'm making an aquarium monitor). Just wanted to say a massive massive thank you, you have saved me so much time and trouble. Recommended your channel to my teachers. Again, thank you so much!
Thank you for this tutorial series, I will look forward to learn more from them. One note over the encryption of the communication: just having private key in the header of HTTP request will not encrypt the message. The only safe way to encrypt the communication is via HTTPS which I don't know yet if it is supported by ESP8266 or MKR1000. I think the private key is more likely used as a authentication validation, but without communication encryption it has no point. The communication can be captured by middle man in the hacking attack and thus exposing the sensitive data.
Yes you can use another cloud platform but you will need to modify the code for sending data because every platform is different. I am not familiar with thinger.io but it could work assuming it does the same thing. You could also use ThingSpeak which I have a video as well.
I don't know without knowing the details of your setup. I would ensure you have your fields setup correctly in Phant. I would also take the phant post string and print it to the serial monitor and then cut and paste it into your web brouwer. If it works via the web brower then the problem is either in the Arduino code or Arduino is not connecting to the web. If it doesn't work through the web browser it mean you don't have the phant cloud setup right.

i had been searching for this , finally found it here . you r awesome mate thanks for this video.
Hi, just a question.
Is it okay to use different kind of ESP8266 (The blue-colored one) and still use the same cloud tool, Phant?
Since sparkfun is not working anymore can we use simply another website such as thinger.io with the same process?
Yes you can use another cloud platform but you will need to modify the code for sending data because every platform is different. I am not familiar with thinger.io but it could work assuming it does the same thing. You could also use ThingSpeak which I have a video as well.
hello i have wismos d1 r1 mini esp12F , will it work with same code you used ?
No, different wifi libraries
Thanks for the great tutorial
can i apply this code in my project which is using arduino uno and nodemcu
If they use the same WiFi library. If not then you will need to add the Arduino WiFi library that supports the NodeMCU
Good job,
Regards .
Where did you obtain the ESP8266 wifi library?
It is pre-installed in the Arduino IDE when you install the ESP8266 boards. You can most likely also find it on GitHub
May I ask where do I create new data stream? When I enter the data.sparkfun.com, I did not see the create button.
Unfortunately Sparkfun shut their cloud platform down to new users. I would recommend ThingSpeak, I have a video on using it.
i am facing a problem in finding right ESP8266 wifi library..pls give the the website link ...
I use the one that is installed with the Arduino IDE. I am sure you can find it on GitHub, but I don't know the link
Phant is down now. It will be helpful if you upload an alternative.
ThingSpeak I have video on it
Thank you
sparkfun is not creating new data streams
any other source
Just checked on it and you are right. That is a bummer. Hopefully they will have it back up soon!
any update if they can take new data streams?
No not yet. I would recommend checking out ThingSpeak. I have a tutorial video on it.
ForceTronics do you have any tutorial on thinkspeak? What about to use blynk app? Maybe have you experiences on it?
the data is not getting posted. Why is that? Private key edited Public key edited....n also the custom fields...
I don't know without knowing the details of your setup. I would ensure you have your fields setup correctly in Phant.

yes the fields are correct... the same data is correct on serial. but is not logging to phant cloud , is the port 80 common for all.??
Between arduino is connected to the web...
Can you post to phant using your web browser? Yes as far as I know port 80 is the port used for HTTP communication.
no thats the problem. My anolog data is not getting posted to the cloud. Between i am using a nodemcu (Lolin) Is that the Problem?
Can I get code of this?
Go to my blog (address in video description) and search on the video names to find the code
