## Article

Learn how to connect an Arduino to the ThingSpeak IoT Analytics platform in this video. ThingSpeak is a popular IoT platform among students and hobbyists and it is backed by Mathworks, the company behind MATLAB. In this video, you will learn how to fetch data from an I2C sensor using the Arduino and send it to a cloud platform over MQTT. We cover the basic setup of the ThingSpeak platform as well as the code that uses the W5500 Ethernet module for Arduino to send the data over the internet. The written guide to follow along can be found at [https://docs.simuli.co/arduino-projec...](https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa3p0eUlBTm4wTEtuRmVsOTlHOGEwd1RNOVUxd3xBQ3Jtc0tsT2RfQ3RVOXdqRU9NMllaMGJ6N0ptcEFzbFJMY0U3NlgxZW1vYloxeHhtOWN2THRMSm5pRkhkd19wUlFiOTYxRlJlRUwzQVZCdVB4VVMtLXoxOUx6ZFpOcDlVaXdTdmxtMVQ1RzVDRHB3OVZhWmVfNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.simuli.co%2Farduino-projects%2Fweather-data-thingspeak&v=uvWea2ihs7M) Please visit [https://simuli.co](https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmtlSmhnR2tFVGVOTU51RkZPR2kwYTM1TG1wZ3xBQ3Jtc0tsQXhpWUhVVUE1eE5XMXlWaFZwQlpGaldZY0tGb2hINjhIbEZZTEcxZzBNNUt5NC1DR0Y1dlVlZnl5b2xTQVV6Z09ZbHRkWThYREwtZGFsZF9OUzRMQkNjZXA0aWZHTFRCQ3ZqaS1HOVUwODlPUUdMOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fsimuli.co%2F&v=uvWea2ihs7M) for more details or to reach out to us.
