Combining my own coding to example raspberry pi coding

hi , i new here and novice in python language. I already tried multiple times by combining 2 coding for installing machine in the device. can you help me ? im using adc3008 in myproject. here my coding that i tried success in python output shell but failed install at ubidots device management .

please can you help me ??

Hi @azsyahirah,

Sending all of your code just as you did means that you’d be expecting someone in the community to actually give you a whole new script already working in return, but that’s kind of hard. Instead, the community forum is intended to solved specific questions. For example, my script si returning a 400 error response code when I try to send data to Ubidots, or my SPI analog reading section is not working well and it gives me this or that error.

With that in mind, here are my recommendation so ppl here can better help you:

  1. Test each section of your code: reading the analog ports in the adc 3008, printing out the results to check everything is ok, checking if the volume does change and then, attempt sending the data to Ubidots making sure that you understand that portion of the code and the expected data format of Ubidots API.

  2. Once you do that and still have issues, post the specific portion of the code given you trouble, and share, in detail, which is the error you’re getting.

  3. Although ppl here can usually help in general terms, some questions that are outside Ubidots Community Forum scope would be better handled in other Forums, say Stack Overflow, Adafriut. As an example, I did a quick search about the adc 3008 and Python and found a package that could possible make your life easier (note that it is only supported up to (Python v3.4).

  4. Make sure all of your code is wrapped in the code snippet format, that will make the reading easier.
