A Phant library for the Spark Core and Photon.
Visit data.sparkfun.com to create a Phant stream of your own. You'll be given public and private keys, don't lose them!
If you want to set up Phant on a server of your own, visit phant.io.
Make sure you include "SparkFun-Spark-Phant/SparkFun-Spark-Phant.h":
// Include the Phant library:
#include "SparkFun-Spark-Phant/SparkFun-Spark-Phant.h":
Then create a Phant object, which requires a server, public key and private key:
const char server[] = "data.sparkfun.com"; // Phant destination server
const char publicKey[] = "DJjNowwjgxFR9ogvr45Q"; // Phant public key
const char privateKey[] = "P4eKwGGek5tJVz9Ar84n"; // Phant private key
Phant phant(server, publicKey, privateKey); // Create a Phant object
Before posting, update every field in the stream using the add([field], [value]) function. The [field] variable will always be a String (or const char array), [value] can be just about any basic data type -- int, byte, long, float, double, String, const char, etc.
For example:
phant.add("myByte", 127);
phant.add("myInt", -42);
phant.add("myString", "Hello, world");
phant.add("myFloat", 3.1415);
After you've phant.add()'ed, you can call phant.post() to create a Phant POST string. phant.post() returns a string, which you can send straight to a print function.
Most of the time, you'll want to send your phant.post() string straight out of a TCPClient print. For example:
TCPClient client;
if (client.connect(server, 80)) // Connect to the server
{
client.print(phant.post());
}
After calling phant.post() all of the field/value parameters are erased. You'll need to make all of your phant.add() calls before calling post again.
