I am working on a project where I will need to publish approx 200 bytes of data. If I encode this 200 bytes of data using hex characters, It will be take a minimum of 400 characters. That means it will take 2 Particle.publishes in order to send my data, since each Particle.publish() is limited to…

@jaza_tom , “base 255” would be pure 8-bit binary! The publish restricts the payload to pure ASCII so an efficient conversion is Base64 which would make your payload about 267 bytes long. You can find the Base64RK library in the Web IDE to make things easy.

Are you aware that limits have been increased for most of the cloud thingies, in the 0.8.x versions?
