Arduino uno connection problem

I have a connection problem with arduino uno. losant platform appears : waiting for data.

Here is my Arduino source code.

What is the problem?

Does your Application Communication Log show any messages when your device is powered on?

nick_bfas · May 4, 2018, 7:43pm

ARDUINO CONNECTION PROBLEM.

DEAR BRANDON

THE LOSANT PLATFORM APPEARS :WAITING FOR DATA
THE APPLICATION LOG SHOWS THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:

One or more of your payload properties was rejected.
Payload must be in JSON format.
Attributes outside your data object are ignored.

Brandon_Cannaday · May 4, 2018, 7:58pm

Can you please paste a screenshot of the communication log, so we can see what was reported?

nick_bfas · May 4, 2018, 8:34pm

Can you adjust the screenshot to show the information below the error message?

Brandon_Cannaday · May 4, 2018, 9:01pm

Can you also print the contents of the JSON object to Serial?

root.printTo(Serial);

nick_bfas · May 4, 2018, 9:31pm

DEAR BRANDON

THE APPLICATION SCREENSHOT IS:

AND THE PRINT OF THE CONTENTS OF THE JSON OBJECT TO SERIAL IS:

LOSANT_3

Brandon_Cannaday · May 4, 2018, 10:08pm

There’s definitely a big difference between what your device is printing vs. what’s being received by Losant. We’ll have to attempt to reproduce this issue. Using the Arduino’s Library Manager, can you please provide the version of the pubsubclient and ArduinoJSON libraries?

nick_bfas · May 5, 2018, 12:59pm

DEAR BRANDON

ARDUINO JSON LIBRARY VERSION : 5.13.1

PubSubClient LIBRARY VERSION: 2.6.0

LOSANT-MQTT-ARDUINO : 1.3.0

nick_bfas · May 6, 2018, 2:46pm

DEAR BRANDON

YOU ASKED ME TO PROVIDE THE VERSIONS OF PubSubClient
AND ArduinoJSON.WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?

Paulo_Renato_Xavier · May 12, 2018, 9:14pm

I’m using the same code, but I’m using json buffer of 512 for root. It shows my device connected, but at my dashboard it doesn’t show any data.

nick_bfas · May 12, 2018, 10:08pm

Thanks Paulo_Renato_Xavier.

Paulo_Renato_Xavier · May 13, 2018, 1:26pm

Hi nick_bfas, your code it is working?

Paulo_Renato_Xavier · May 14, 2018, 12:21am

To solve my problem, I had to edit MQTT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE at ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/pubsubclient/src/PubSubClient.h to 256 or something larger.

nick_bfas · May 15, 2018, 3:51am

Hi Paulo.My code is working ,sends data to serial monitor and shows connected to Losant. I have changed PubSubClient.h to 256 according to your advice but my dashboard still shows :waiting for data.Did this change to 256 worked for you?

Paulo_Renato_Xavier · September 6, 2018, 8:35pm

Sorry for aswer you this late. For my application I have to use 512. I’m doing upload of 9 parameters.
