Hello everyone,
I'm collecting data through the mpu 9250/6500 sensor and I want to send that data wirelessly through the esp8266 12e, but I'm stuck and don't know where to begin.
Does anyone know any good tutorials or links to some project or code I can look at to solve this dilema? I've heard about thingspeak, but I want to see if there are other options before I commit to one thing.
Thank you,
John
Where do you want to send the data? How much data? What type of data? How fast? What will you do with the data at the receiving end?

It seems like thingspeak is the easiest way to do this so I'll just use that.
I'm collecting data using a mpu sensor, it records the x, y, and z values of accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer.
It shouldn't be a lot of data as I only plan to use it just for a few minutes to collect and log the values obtain from the mpu. I'm hoping that once I obtain the data I can then save it as an excel file.
Are you aware of PLQ DAQ? You send the data to a PC running an Excel macro over a simple serial port.
Google "plx daq arduino" for more information.

Is there a way to do that wirelessly without the use of a serial port?
PLQ DAQ is a lot more efficient than what I was doing before which was just using teraterm and then saving the log file as an excel sheet. But I want to send the data through a wifi module instead of relying on a serial port connection.
are the data in the esp8266 or you want to use some esp8266 module as networking shield?
what is the main MCU/board?

I'm not sure what a networking shield is, but I'm basically just collecting the data through an IMU sensor, which is the mpu 9250/6500, and then sending those data into the esp8266 module where I'm trying to figure out how to send the recorded data wirelessly to my computer.
how do you send the sensor data to the esp8266? the sensor are attached to the esp8266?
what esp8266 board do you use? do you write an Arduino sketch for the esp8266?

This is the set up I'm following:
I've got it working properly so now all that's left is sending the data wirelessly.
