Local server in node.js example

Is there any output in the console of the webbrower?

@Moors7 yes there is, the value is constantly updated but no output on the web

I was thinking more along the lines of the developer console in your web browser, not the Particle Console :wink:
Try right-clicking and then selecting ‘inspect this page’. You should then see the developer tools with a tab for ‘console’. See if that has any output.

Hahaha…i see.

It seems like it failed.

Can you kindly help with that?

It appears these are two completely different subnets
Your first post mentions 192.168.43.xxx and the console complains about `192.168.137.xxx.
I guess that might be a point to start your search from :wink:

Hi, I followed your example and it works.
Can you teach me how to get reading from SparkFun Humidity and Temperature Sensor Breakout - Si7021 and display them on localhost instead of accelerometer.
I have the working ino file for my Si7021 sensor which is using particle.variable to display data on google spreadsheet.but i dont know how can i convert my project to localhost like yours.

You should only have to edit the sendData function, since that’s where the data is collected and transmitted. Everything else should remain the same I suppose.

Hi, I have tried putting my code into send data function but i cant compile it… Do you mind providing me your email so that I can send you my code to have a look… and suggest me what I am doing wrong.
Thank you so much for your reply. I am very new to this and programming related stuff

You can paste your code on the forums as well so others can take a look. Just make sure you format it so it’s readable.
What errors do you get when compiling?

Above is my code>>> With this, I can view my sensor reading on dashboard and also be able to send data to my google spreadsheet script. But my goal is to get sensor data on my local server without going through cloud and display the data reading on simple web page. Thank you.

And how did you try to combine that with Rick’s code?
(Do try to use non-blocking delays)

You should not call sendData() directly from your own code.
Rick’s FSM needs to perform the required tasks to set up the connectiin first by going through all the required individual states.
So your code should only “signal” STATE_SEND_DATA once your data has been collected and wait for state == STATE_REQUEST again before you collect the next set of data.

But to be sure, go back to Rick’s original code and try to follow through the flow and in your mind keep track of state on the individual iterations if the FSM in loop().

Hi, I have removed sendData() from my code but still am not receiving any data.
What am i missing, please help .

What about this?

Hi, do you mean this?? sorry, I am a very beginner.

Not really. Hence I also said this

You should look at the devicesHandler() function.
There you will find how STATE_CONNECT is triggered. The same would go for STATE_SEND_DATA

And I don't quite get the use of all the getWeather()/getWeather01() calls.
Just do each of them once like this

  static uint32_t msLastWeatherReport = 0;
  if (state == STATE_REQUEST && millis() - msLastWeatherReport > 10000) {
    msLastWeatherReport = millis();
    getWeather();
    getWeather01();
    state = STATE_SEND_DATA;
  }


Hi, i did this and still not receiving any data on local webpage.

Thank you.

I put your code into mine but it still isnt receiving data on local webpage.
So, I tried to publish the data onto particle dashboard and it can receive data.

Sorry if my questions are too silly, I really am at lost…

Hi I tested using simple photoresistor for livegraph and even then I am not receiving any data on local webpage.
Please advise me what i am doing wrong.
