[SOLVED] Arduino Mega & ethernet shield - "Bad request" (error 400)

Hi guys,

I’m working on a project but i have some troubles with the Ubidots Ethernet library.
Here is my code :
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <UbidotsEthernet.h>
#include “DHT.h”
#include “MQ135.h”

#define VARLABEL_1  "*******" //temperature  
#define VARLABEL_2  "*******" //humidity 
#define VARLABEL_3  "*******" //luminosity
#define VARLABEL_4  "*******" //lightOn
#define VARLABEL_5  "*******" //PPM
#define VARLABEL_6  "*******" //Pot 1
#define VARLABEL_7  "*******" //Pot 2
#define VARLABEL_8 "*******" //Pot 3
#define VARLABEL_9 "*******" //Pot 4

#define TOKEN  "*******"

As you can see, sometimes it works : i can send data to ubidots.
But sometimes it doesn’t work : error 400

Do you have an idea ?

Thanks !

Hello @AstroMan,

If you use the example provided by Ubidots you are still getting the bad request?

To correct your issue please make sure you’re using the last version of our library, and try the example provided on the README.

Let me know how it goes!

Best Regards,
Maria C.
