Setting up ThingSpeak

Now that we have setup Raspberry Pi 3, we will setup ThingSpeak.

ThingsSpeak is an IoT platform, as discussed earlier, that can collect data and help us run analytics on top of it. We will be using ThingSpeak in this example to load data into the cloud using a simple HTTP API and view the data in real time using charts.

This platform is super easy to use and the best way to get started with IoT exploration. Hence, ThingSpeak has been chosen to explore the basics.

If you are new to ThingSpeak, refer to this: https://thingspeak.com/pages/learn_more.
