Light Intensity Monitor using WebAPI

Aim:

To monitor the Intensity of Light and plot the data as a Graph in webAPI or Thinkspeak.

Components:

 Arduino Uno R3
 Multimeter
 Wifi Module ESP-8266
 Photoresistor
 Resistors x3
 Wires

Procedure:

 Open Tinkercad online and create account using Email

 Select circuits under the side panel
 Change file name
 Open the Components library and draw the required components into the Workspace
 Connect them properly
 Open code in txt format and give the appropriate code.
 Open Thinkspace Webpage
 Create a Channel
 Copy the Unique API key and Paste it in the code
 Stimulate
Circuit:

Code:

String ssid = "Simulator Wifi";

String password = ""; // Our virtual wifi has no password (so dont do your banking stuff on this network)
String host = "api.thingspeak.com";
const int httpPort = 80;

// provide your API key below in between thr '=' sign and '&' sign
String uri = "/update?api_key=9W0UVIKCXZWTNDFO&field1=";

int setupESP8266(void)
{
// Start our ESP8266 Serial Communication
Serial.begin(115200); // Serial connection over USB to computer
Serial.println("AT"); // Serial connection on Tx / Rx port to ESP8266
delay(10); //Wait a little for the ESP to respond
if (!Serial.find("OK"))
return 1;

// Connect to 123D Circuits Simulator Wifi

Serial.println("AT+CWJAP=\"" + ssid + "\",\"" + password + "\"");
delay(10); // Wait a little for the ESP to respond
if (!Serial.find("OK")) return 2;
 // Open TCP connection to the host:
Serial.println("AT+CIPSTART=\"TCP\",\"" + host + "\"," + httpPort);
delay(50); // Wait a little for the ESP to respond
if (!Serial.find("OK"))
return 3;
return 0;
}
int anydata(void)
{
int temp = map(analogRead(A0),20,358,-40,125);
// Construct our HTTP call
String httpPacket = "GET " + uri + String(temp) + " HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: " + host +"\r\n\r\n";
int length = httpPacket.length();
// Send our message length
Serial.print("AT+CIPSEND=");
Serial.println(length);
delay(10); // Wait a little for the ESP to respond
if (!Serial.find(">"))
return -1;
// Send our http request
Serial.print(httpPacket);
delay(10); // Wait a little for the ESP to respond
if(!Serial.find("SEND OK\r\n"))
return 0;
}
void setup()
{
setupESP8266();
int pin= 7;
pinMode(pin,OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
anydata();
delay(100);
Output:

Graph:
Inference:

We can infer that the graph keeps on varying for different light intensity adjusted in the photoresistor,
also this adjustment voltage can be measured in the multimeter connected to it.

Result:

Hence the output has been obtained and verified. The graph has been plotted in WebAPI or thinkspeak.
