Have a question for TI re: The Internet of the Backyard Challenge? Ask here!

Just so I do not recreate what may be already available, are there libraries already available for CC3200 to Plot.ly?

Hi Bill,

I don't think there is a plot.ly port for CC3200 yet. Here are the list to the current TI official Cloud ecosystem partners for CC3200:

CC31xx & CC32xx Cloud Ecosystem - Texas Instruments Wiki

I was under the impression we were to use Plotly as our platform, is that no longer the case?

QUOTE:

After being selected, you'll also be given access to Plotly, the web's premier data streaming and visualization software. Plotly has written code specifically designed to make it easy to get your backyard data to the Internet. Just imagine what you could do: the possibilities are endless.

Once every two weeks, you'll post a blog entry showing us how you're getting on. The final build needs to be finished by October 3. Winners will be selected on October 13... and the prize?

even without a library, every contestant should be able to write code to do this

it is a challenge after all and with an amazing prize for the winner, that should take effort to win and im talking about a significant effort both in software, hardware and artistry/creativity, not just pulling a few libraries together

the community will help of course, you only have to ask, but each one of you must be prepared to research, learn and document

Good luck

This is not aimed at you in particular but all too often road testers / contestants seem to take the easier road and replicate other peoples work, in some cases verbatim and that is not what this is about, sure borrow and modify other peoples code, ideas etc but make them your own

if something does not exist, create it (Plotly Library for example) , the reward is worth the effort

a quick update

Just discovered a member has got plotly to work, in linux using curl but the info is there and it should be fairly straight forward to convert to your use

IoT live data upload to Plotly and Xively

My question about Plotly was because there was no mention of login in the congratulation email I got or in the dev kits received, so the 'given access' confused me. I created a login as it appears to be open to public. Just wanted to verify there was not a specific account I was required to use for the contest, or that I missed a step.

thanks,

Bill

There would be a unique one set up for you, I am not sure of the process but @doctorcdf    may be able to point you in the right direction

regards

Peter

The closest library I could find which I'm looking at is a plotly library found on the mbed platform but it may be easier for me anyway just to create script that is specific to my app. I believe you can also use json encoding to send payload data.

Registering at Plotly is free of charge for everyone. Limitation, I read somewhere, is that it would allow to store 50 plots.

Is there  an simple HTTP POST example for CC3200? There is a GET function used in OOB example. Is there some example where POST is used? May be in Weather Example?

Would like to HTTP POST following data to Plotly:

http://107.21.214.199/clientresp "HTTP/1.1"

version=2.3&origin=plot&platform=arduino&un=janisalnis&key=p3r69ls929

&args=[{"x": ["2014-08-26 15:18:01"], "y": [25], "type": "scatter", "stream": {"maxpoints": 20}}]

&kwargs={"filename": "streaming API", "fileopt": "extend", "world_readable": true}

Alternative would be to use Arduino C code example for Plotly to compose a POST message.
