Lab 7: Cloud Platforms

Lab 7A: ThingSpeak

I was able to set up a ThingSpeak account and use the commands given to create a new channel using the API key given to my ThingSpeak account. I was able to successfully install psutil and run thingspeak_feed.py. Directly below was the output on the terminal and below that were the charts that were developed using ThingSpeak. This part of the lab had to run for several minutes because it only collected a data points periodically.

Lab 7B: Google Sheets

For this part of the lab I signed up for the google Google Cloud Platform Identity and Access Management. First I was able to successfully install gspread and oauth2client and from there I used the given commands to be able to run rpi_spreadsheet.py to collect the data which live updated using the API from google sheets so that I was able to see live the data points being added. A screenshot of the API key and the graphs provided by the Google cloud platform of the data and lastly the google spreadsheet created by running the program.
