The part that talks to TS is very simple:
if (lastUpdate.Ticks < DateTime.Now.Subtract(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 300)).Ticks)
{

using (HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://api.thingspeak.com/update?key="+APIKey+"&field1=" + t.GetTemperatureFahrenheit().ToString()))
{
using (HttpWebResponse res = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse())
{
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(res.GetResponseStream()))
{
response = sr.ReadToEnd();
if (response != "")
{
lastUpdate = DateTime.Now;
}
}
}
}

}

If you need more than this, or any explanation, please feel free to let me know.

I’d like do do something similar on the FEZ Cobra.
Would you share the code of the office temperature project ? (I’m only interested in the part that talks to ThingSpeak)
