Got my Pro Mini v3.3 and ESP8266 doing a thingspeak channel update as well as twiiter tweet at the same time. I have ran into a problem that I just can't figure out. If the update string I send to the ESP8266 to send to thingspeak is over 80 chars in length it will give me a 400 error bad request. If I back it down to 80 chars or under it send just fine. Here are my errors and the code if someone can help me out. PS: I know the code is messy as I am a newb so please be gentle but any pointers will be appreciated. ESP8266 is running AI-v0.9.5.0 AT Firmware.
This is what happens when it is over 80 chars long
This is what happens when it is 80 chars or less
My sloppy code:
Thanks if anyone can help me out.
