Cayenne connection with Roving RN-XVee

Hello Everybody,

I have an Arduino Uno with some kind of kit → Buy Open Garden Indoor (1 Node + 1 Gateway) Online

I am sending the data in the web server using shield and wifi module:

Shield: Communication Shield (XBee, Bluetooth, RFID) - XBee Shield - Arduino - Shop
Wifi Module: Cooking Hacks - Electronic and IoT Kits, tutorials and guides for Makers and Education

I want to make connection with Cayenne and try some stuff but it is unsuccessful. Bellow is the code that I use for the web server to connect:

Can somebody help me a little bit with connection to Cayenne and furthermore use the opengarden shield for taking data from sensors.

Best Wishes,
Thanks

up!

Were you able to get it working?

Hello,

I managed to make it working with Cooking Hack library for Open Garden Shield, BUT without using the wireless kit that I explained earlier in the post. Now i send the data through the USB interface of the computer with connected arduino on it.

In the last few weeks, I don’t have a lot of time to try making it working.
