I am working towards sending data from a Picaxe using AT commands via ESP8266, based on an example from 2015 here: https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/projects/connect-a-picaxe-to-the-internet-of-things/ At this stage, I am sending the AT commands to the ESP8266 from a terminal program (Termite), so the Picaxe board is not playing an active part other than providing 3.3V for the ESP-01S module. However, the GET command is not working and there are no updates to ThingSpeak. I can send the same update string from a browser and the data does appear in ThingSpeak, so the key and field number are correct. This is the update URL which works: https://api.thingspeak.com/update?key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&field2=123 I understand there is a ThingSpeak library for Arduino which would simplify the process but, for various reasons, I prefer Picaxe at the moment. Are updates via GET still supported? Have there been any recent changes to the format which affect the data string? I assume the byte count requires addition of 2 to account for the CR+LF sent from the terminal program but I have also tried with byte count reduced by 2 with no change in the result. Here is the log from Termite: AT OK AT+CIPSTART="TCP","thingspeak.com",80 AT+CIPSTART="TCP","thingspeak.com",80 CONNECT OK AT+CIPSEND=45 AT+CIPSEND=45 OK > GET /update?key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&field1=123 Recv 45 bytes SEND OK +IPD,69:HTTP/1.1 408 REQUEST_TIMEOUT Content-Length:0 Connection: Close CLOSED
