I tried posting this on the pachube site and still no response after 3 days so I thought I would try here.
I’m having trouble getting my Arduino to talk pachube. I'm a newbie on both the Arduino and pachube and have spent hours searching so please bear with me. I’m using the Puchube client example included with the Arduino 22 and have also tried the “Arduino Ethernet with Pachube inputs and outputs” on the pachube site. I'm using a Arduino mega2560 with a standard Ethernet shield(Wiznet W5100). My feed says it’s frozen and I have no graphs displayed. The debug page shows 0 requests but a few days ago I did get an email saying I reached my rate limit but nothing showed up on my feed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pachube sensor client
This sketch connects an analog sensor to Pachube (http://www.pachube.com)
using a Wiznet Ethernet shield. You can use the Arduino Ethernet shield, or
the Adafruit Ethernet shield, either one will work, as long as it's got
a Wiznet Ethernet module on board.
Circuit:
* Analog sensor attached to analog in 0
* Ethernet shield attached to pins 10, 11, 12, 13
