It's been remarkable watching this firmware project grow over the last year. I've found it invaluable for our product development as well as personal projects around the property.
Can't wait to see what the future brings!!

A quick Google search turns up some recurring problems if you are sending more than 84 characters to ThingSpeak. See http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1952 for a discussion on that. You may want to check the string length you're trying to send.
