Good morning,
Can someone please help a bit here ? Many thanks.
I am trying to understand this syntax: sprintf(buff,"0,%d\n1,%d",i++,analogRead(0));
It is converting analogRead to a string in a specific format. It does work, but I failed to send multiple sensors with the same command line. Obviousely, at this stage I don' understand it very well. =(
cheers,
MaLi
Try posting all your code. Its no good asking us to fix code that works!

Yes, it is.
but I failed to send multiple sensors with the same command line.
Because that code is accessing a specific pin. You can't connect multiple sensors to the same pin.
Obviousely, at this stage I don' understand it very well.
Nor did you do a good job of sharing your code.

sprintf(buff,"%d,%d,%d,%d\n",i++,analogRead(0),analogRead(1),analogRead(2));
output
0,3,1015,970
To understand sprintf try this

And here you can see all the formatting parameters: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/printf/
wow, many thanks to everyone for the quick answers.
The line is updating a pachube feed in csv format. I had it working in this format last year using a wired arduino ethernet interface (5100).
int temp_Current1 = (temp_Current - (int)temp_Current)*100;
int pH_val1 = (pH_val - (int)pH_val)*100;
sprintf(pachube_data,"%0d.%02d,%0d.%02d,%d,%d,%d",(int)temp_Current,abs(temp_Current1),(int)pH_val,abs(pH_val1),ORP_val);
where temp_Current, pH_val are floats, and ORP_val is integer.
Now I have changed to a WiFly and RN-XV just to simplify the hardware and the above code is not working anymore ?? have the Pachube guys changed the requirements for csv format ??
cheers,

Here is the whole function:
void pachube_feed()
{
if (millis() - timeLastUpdated > TIMETOUPDATE)
{ // time for the next update
timeLastUpdated = millis();
int temp_Current1 = (temp_Current - (int)temp_Current)*100;
int pH_val1 = (pH_val - (int)pH_val)*100;
sprintf(pachube_data,"%0d.%02d,%0d.%02d,%d,%d,%d",(int)temp_Current,abs(temp_Current1),(int)pH_val,abs(pH_val1),ORP_val);
Serial.println("connecting...");
if (client.connect("api.cosm.com", 80))
{
Serial.println("connected");
client.print("PUT /v2/feeds/"); // APIV2
client.print(PACHUBEFEED);
client.println(".csv HTTP/1.1");
client.println("Host: api.cosm.com");
client.print("X-PachubeApiKey: ");
client.println(APIKEY);
client.println("User-Agent: Arduino (WiFly RN-XV)");
client.print("Content-Type: text/csv\nContent-Length: ");
client.println(strlen(pachube_data));
client.println("Connection: close");
client.println();
client.print(pachube_data);
client.println();
}
else
{
Serial.println("connection failed");
}
delay(1000);
if (client.connected()) {
Serial.println("disconnecting.");
client.stop();
Serial.println("disconnected.");
}
}
"Does not work" in what way. How did you change your hardware. Why do you expect code that work with e-net to work with WiFly.
Post the code means post all your code not just the bit which you think is not working!.

Thank you. pachube site responds with a "400 Bad request"
From what I've seen on pachube forum, on the csv format data is expected to come like:
0, data_0
1, data_1
2, data-2
...
datastream_ID, datastream
I suppose the format in sprintf will have to do that .
cheers,

If your code worked before but not now, that is very likely the cause of your problem. Your code looks very alien, and that might confirm it. There are two new libraries, Cosm.h and HttpClient.h and I couldn't get any joy until I used them. You can connect multiple sensors to one pin and, since that worked before, I guess that isn't the problem now.
The code below is for two thermometers on pin 3. It exports to cosm over Ethernet and to PLX at home. The important bit is that it shows how to talk to cosm (Pachube).

From cosm library example and lifts from a lot of others
particularly from Stanley in Kuala Lumpur.

Note that the feed id is in line 42.

That may be true, but the 400 code may be down to an improper setup at the cosm end. Check the console there to ensure the feed and key are all kosher. I had a bad time with that.
OK. For those of you who are looking to push a multi datastream feed to pachube (cosm), with the new structure this is the way it works for me:
ex. for three datastreams
sprintf(buff,"0,%d\n1,%d\n2,%d\n",datastream1,datastream2,datastream3);
outcome;
0,datastream1
1,datastream2
2,datsstream3
hope it helps,
