Sending Data to an Adafruit IO Feed from ItsaSnap

Feeds are the core of the Adafruit IO system. A feed holds the data and meta-data that you have sent to Adafruit IO. Data is the information you want Adafruit IO to store. For example, temperature data, fan speed, or whether a light switch is turned on or off. Note that the data does not have to represent a physical thing, but it often does!

With ItsaSnap, sending data to your Adafruit IO Feed is straightforward.

The Overview screen contains a list of the Feeds you want to send data to. Once you have located the feed, tap on it to view its details.

To complete the process, please enter a value in the specified text field and then click on the blue button with an arrow to send the value.
