Ubidots CC3000 library

Adafruit cc3000 WiFi shield uses SPI for communication, so you can push data as fast as you want. It has a proper interrupt system with IRQ pin so you can have asynchronous connections. It supports 802.11b/g, open/WEP/WPA/WPA2 security, TKIP & AES. A built in TCP/IP stack with a "BSD socket" interface. Here you will learn how to send a multiple variables to the Ubidots API and how to get the last value of variable from Ubidots with CC3000 shield.

Requirements

• An Arduino UNO
• A Adafruit CC3000 WiFi Shield
• Arduino IDE 1.6.4 or higher
• Adafruit CC3000 library
• Ubidots CC3000 library

Setup

1. Download the Adafruit_CC3000 library here.
2. Download the UbidotsCC3000 library here
3. Go to the Arduino IDE, click on Sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP Library
4. Select the .ZIP file of Ubidots Arduino CC3000 and then "Accept" or "Choose"
5. Do the same to add the Adafruit CC3000 library.
6. Close the Arduino IDE and open it again.

Use the Arduino 1.6.4 version or newer with the CC3000, EXCEPT for the firmware update sketches in the library examples folder. Use 1.0.6 for those! Make sure your Arduino is powered by a 1 amp or higher rated external power supply when using with the CC3000! Powering an Arduino + CC3000 from a computer/laptop USB port will lead to unstable behavior and lockups because the USB port can't supply enough power!

Change the default name

The library will create a new Ubidots device named "Arduino-CC3000", also assigns the same name for the device label. if you desire to assign a different device label, please add to your setup() function the line below:

client.setDeviceLabel("my-new-device")

Send values to Ubidots

To send onen value to Ubidots, go to Sketch -> Examples -> ubidots-arduino-cc3000 library and select the "UbidotsSaveValue" example.

Update your WiFi crendentials, assign your Ubidots TOKEN and the variable label where is indicated. Once the parameters are assigned, upload the code. Then, open the Serial monitor to check the results.

NOTE: If no response is seen, try unplugging your Arduino and then plugging it again. Make sure the baud rate of the Serial monitor is set to the same one specified in your code.

  float value = analogRead(A0);
 /* Sending value to Ubidots */
  client.add(VARIABLE_LABEL,value);
  client.sendAll();

}

The library allow you send just 5 variables per request. But don't worry for that, if you desire send more than 5 variables, go to Sketch -> Examples -> ubidots-arduino-cc3000 library and select the "UbidotsSaveMultiValues" example. Don't forget update your WiFi credentials and assign your Ubidots TOKEN, and the variables labels where is indicated.

Send values with context

The following example is to send one value with context to Ubidots, it will create the variable automatically with the label assign by you into the code.

Add your Ubidots TOKEN where indicated, as well as the WI-FI settings.

}

void loop() {
  char context[25];
  /* Build the context to be send */
  sprintf(context, "\"lat\":1.234, \"lng\":132.1233"); //Sends latitude and longitude for watching position in a map
  /* Sends latitude and longitude for watching position in a map */
  client.add(VARIABLE_LABEL, 1, context);
  client.sendAll();
  delay(5000);
}

Send values with timestamp

The following example is to send one value with timestamp to Ubidots, it will create the variable automatically with the label assign by you into the code.

Add your Ubidots TOKEN where indicated, as well as the WI-FI settings.

  /* Sending values to Ubidots */
  client.add(VARIABLE_LABEL, value, timestamp);
  client.sendAll();

}

Get one value from Ubidots

To get the last value of a variable from Ubidots, go to Sketch -> Examples -> ubidots-arduino-cc3000 library and select the "UbidotsGetValue" example.

Update your WiFi crendentials, assign your Ubidots TOKEN, the device and variable label from where you desire obtain the value.

Upload the code, open the Serial monitor to check the results.

NOTE: If no response is seen, try unplugging your Arduino and then plugging it again. Make sure the baud rate of the Serial monitor is set to the same one specified in your code.
