We have published an example in the ThingSpeak documentation that shows you how to train a feedforward neural network to predict temperature. The feedforward neural network is one of the simplest types of artificial networks but has broad applications in IoT. We are collecting data in a ThingSpeak channel and will… read more >>

The ThingSpeak team has integrated the Predictive Maintenance Toolbox for MATLAB into the IoT Analytics features of ThingSpeak. The Predictive Maintenance Toolbox provides tools for labeling data, designing condition indicators, and estimating the remaining useful life (RUL) of a machine. You can analyze and label machine data imported from local… read more >>

As most of you know I love building IoT projects. Most of these maker projects use an Arduino, Particle, or Raspberry Pi, like my IR color-changing robot that connects to ThingSpeak and the CheerLights project.

I recently became the moderator of the MATLAB Maker Community that is hosted on MATLAB Central. There are… read more >>

Join the MathWorks and ThingSpeak IoT team at the MIT Connected Things 2018 conference held at the MIT Media Lab on April 5, 2018. MathWorks is proud to be a sponsor for a second year and we are looking forward to sharing our IoT solutions. We have tools for every part… read more >>

Douglas Mawrey created a Smart Humidity Sensor using ThingSpeak to collect data, MATLAB to analyze the data, and IFTTT to send push notifications for certain conditions. This project uses the outdoor temperature to determine the ideal indoor humidity and inform you about the room’s comfort. The data and condition results… read more >>

Social media is blowing up the term bomb cyclone. The term is everywhere from Twitter to 24/7 news coverage of the storm hitting the East Coast of the United States. The technical term for a bomb cyclone is bombogenesis which is the combination of “bomb” and “cyclogenesis.” Or, you could… read more >>

Tides go up and down. But, the question is when and how will the tide levels change in the future. If you are planning a boating trip or trying to understand how the wind affects tide levels during storms, you want to predict the tide levels using data that you… read more >>

An emerging topic with IoT is Digital Twin (DT).
The digital twin is a federation of data and models that can be analyzed or put into a simulation to create useful information about the past, present, or future of the DT’s physical twin.
Bruce Sinclair of the Iot-Inc. Business Show podcast invite Jim… read more >>

Many IoT projects collect data from a sensor and send the data to ThingSpeak at the same time over and over. To continuously collect and send data to the cloud requires the device to be powered and connected all of the time. A battery-powered IoT device like a Particle Photon or… read more >>

Smoking ribs or a pork shoulder requires lots of patience and practice. When everything works, you get to enjoy an amazing dinner. When things go wrong, you end up with dry, overcooked meat that only your dog may enjoy. Here’s what great BBQ looks like from @AndreasHarsch.

My process of smoking meat,… read more >>
