Why can I only publish 5 events from one device

[jade7272]

I have an issue …I am Particle publishing 3 x voltage data 3x Current data, 1 x Altimeter data and 1 x Accelerometer data and 1 x Temps but only One voltage /Current temp and altimeter is showing up on Particle cloud …Is there a reason for this ??

Are you violating the once per second (or burst of 4) rate limit for publishes?

[nrobinson2000]

You could combine all those events into one.

Yes, this is the way to go.

Get it all out in a single publish event.

I send basically the full 255 bytes of data every 10 seconds and Losant.com receives it and updates my dashboard. Works perfectly.

Exactly how do I combine my publishes ?

There are multiple ways.
My preferred way is via snprintf()

See if this helps any, its what I had to learn to accomplish a custom publish event string.

Storing very infrequent data while Photon offline (not cloud connected)

@charrold303 The C-String used to confuse me also but after playing around a bit I now see how simple they are to work with to format data before sending it in a Particle Publish. Here is how I setup a C-String (Char array) in my code to send GPS Data & Battery Voltage to Losant. First define your Char Array and change publishStateString to what ever you want it to be: [image] The 256 is the max byte size of the array which is the max size of a Particle Publish payload +1 Now I use the sn…

Thanks for that …Ok so how do you separate the data between the colons after the publish ?

Thanks you have an example …Extreme newbie here

I show you how to do in the link I posed above.
