Introduction

Phant is No Longer in Operation

Unfortunately Phant, our data-streaming service, is no longer in service. The system has reached capacity and, like a less-adventurous Cassini, has plunged conclusively into a fiery and permanent retirement. There are several other maker-friendly, data-streaming services and/or IoT platforms available as alternatives. The three we recommend are Blynk, ThingSpeak, and Cayenne. You can read our blog post on the topic for an overview and helpful links for each platform. The code in this tutorial will need to be adjusted to work with the other data streams.

An archived tutorial of our first and third ESP8266 Thing board examples used in our ESP8266 Thing Board Hookup Guide. Example 1 showed you how you can use the Thing Board to post data to data.sparkfun.com. Example 2 put the Thing to sleep to save that sweet battery juice.
