hi , I need help with my project which is collecting data pressure applied on FSR sensor. Im using Raspberry pi 3 B+ and pi cobbler which connected to MCP3008 for converting the FSR analog signal to digital .
after complete SSH my Pi, the dashboard are only show basic widget. I try to add sensor but cannot find FSR. The analog sensor for pressure are only available for Flexi sensor. The sensor cannot be pick same goes to MCP3008 which i cannot add.
can you help me solve this?
if you have the python code to read the data from the sensor, then you can send that data to cayenne using GitHub - myDevicesIoT/Cayenne-MQTT-Python: Python Library for Cayenne MQTT API
i try my best to solve this problem but i can’t. It shows
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/pi/Documents/mqtt test9.py”, line 1, in
import cayenne.client
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘cayenne’
did you install the library:
git clone https://github.com/myDevicesIoT/Cayenne-MQTT-Python
cd Cayenne-MQTT-Python
python setup.py install
it show error : can’t create or remove files in install directory
here the copy of the scripted;

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.
use sudo
do you mean by typing sudo and paste the coding like this ?
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo git clone GitHub - myDevicesIoT/Cayenne-MQTT-Python: Python Library for Cayenne MQTT API
fatal: destination path ‘Cayenne-MQTT-Python’ already exists and is not an empty directory.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd Cayenne-MQTT-Python
pi@raspberrypi:~/Cayenne-MQTT-Python $ python setup.py install
the result still same.
sorry im still begineer …
sudo python setup.py install
im trying running coding example in the link ,GitHub - myDevicesIoT/Cayenne-MQTT-Python: Python Library for Cayenne MQTT API
on Thony Python IDE programming
here my coding …

i=0
timestamp = 0
while True:
client.loop()
if (time.time() > timestamp + 10):
client.celsiusWrite(1, i)
client.luxWrite(2, i*10)
client.hectoPascalWrite(3, i+800)
timestamp = time.time()
i = i+1
this still show error;

Use sudo python3 setup.py install because you are using python 3.7
yeay it already done added the devices. Thankyou boss. Have a nice day !
Hi, i got problem to combine the example mqtt coding with my data sensor coding(raw python) . how to combine the two coding ?

can you atleast give it a try combining and share the code after that if not working.
update on my coding, i already combine two of them but the data/channel are now showing on dashoard. The device is connected. the result only showing on python.
how can i made the data connected to the dashboard ?

this code sends data to cayenne. But there it has not been edited to send the sensor data. have you just copy and paste the two codes? You need to edit some bit. the sensor data variable needs to be passed to cayenne using client.virtualWrite(1, data) where 1 is the channel and data is the variable in which sensor data is stored.
