Great blog entry, I just got my post finished here. I outline setting up a plot with Plot.ly there in a bit of detail so that may help you. The only major thing I would have liked to be able to do that I can't is move my second Y axis to the right from my json "script" but otherwise I was able to setup and label everything nicely. I am hoping to try move my code to the CC3200 as I seem to have a hardware issue with my current issue and until I get another full setup I thought I would try the CC3200.

I will definitely look over your code as there is always something to learn from others as well as I would Like to try Xivley as they have GET request as well allowing for so many more potential possibilities.

GREAT POST!!

Nice post.

Re: Plot.ly v Xively. Personally I view plot.ly as serving a different market on the basis that you can upload one large data set in one go through their API and generate a graph for analysis or visualisation. Also works with R (programming language) for statistical analysis which has other benefits. I know this is not meant to be a review of all the new .IO cloud based data capture systems out there but if you see Xively as being more suited to your needs then just wanted to suggest you look at carriots.com as I have found them quite useful in the past (their API can handle auto triggering based on incoming data stream and could for example email you if data outside threshold etc.)
