Uploading data to firebase using NodeMCU

[Anudeep]

Hello,
I am trying to upload data to firebase but wasn't able to do it. I'm not able to understand the error.
I wanted to update the value of NEW in firebase...
Please refer to my code and firebase tree to solve the error.!!!

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <FirebaseArduino.h>       

// Set these to run example.
#define FIREBASE_HOST "syndinnovate-1.firebaseapp.com"
#define FIREBASE_AUTH "AIzaSyAf**********-v7hKQe4uPbfUKHc"
#define WIFI_SSID "Anudeep"
#define WIFI_PASSWORD "Anudeep123"

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);

  // connect to wifi.
  WiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD);
  Serial.print("connecting");
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.print(".");
    delay(500);
  }
  Serial.println();
  Serial.print("connected: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
  
  Firebase.begin(FIREBASE_HOST, FIREBASE_AUTH);
}

int n = 0;

void loop() {
  /*
  // set value
  Firebase.setFloat("number", 42.0);
  // handle error
  if (Firebase.failed()) {
      Serial.print("setting /number failed:");
      Serial.println(Firebase.error());  
      return;
  }
  delay(1000);*/
  
  // update value
  Firebase.setFloat("/NEW", 43.0);
  // handle error
  if (Firebase.failed()) {
      Serial.print("setting /number failed:");
      Serial.println(Firebase.error());  
      return;
  }
  delay(1000);
/*
  // get value 
  Serial.print("number: ");
  Serial.println(Firebase.getFloat("number"));
  delay(1000);

  // remove value
  Firebase.remove("number");
  delay(1000);

  // set string value
  Firebase.setString("message", "hello world");
  // handle error
  if (Firebase.failed()) {
      Serial.print("setting /message failed:");
      Serial.println(Firebase.error());  
      return;
  }
  delay(1000);
  
  // set bool value
  Firebase.setBool("truth", false);
  // handle error
  if (Firebase.failed()) {
      Serial.print("setting /truth failed:");
      Serial.println(Firebase.error());  
      return;
  }
  delay(1000);*/

  // append a new value to /logs
  String name = Firebase.pushInt("/NEW", n++);
  // handle error
  if (Firebase.failed()) {
      Serial.print("pushing /logs failed:");
      Serial.println(Firebase.error());  
      return;
  }
  Serial.print("pushed: /logs/");
  Serial.println(name);
  delay(1000);
}

May be "FIREBASE_HOST" have some error, try in this model "<YourProjectName>.firebaseio.com"
Look this project : ( https://github.com/jagannathBhat/barish/tree/master/nodeWithFirebase)

Hi @Anudeep , Can you please share the error log details?

If you are facing this error with the JSONBUFFER_SIZE like this

lib\firebase-arduino-master\src\FirebaseObject.h:109:21: error: 'StaticJsonBuffer' was not declared in this scope
std::shared_ptr<StaticJsonBuffer<FIREBASE_JSONBUFFER_SIZE>> buffer_;

this is might be using the latetst ArduinoJson lib , so downgrade Arduinojson to the version 5.13.2. It will fix the issue

Sketch -> Include libraries -> Manage libraries

if the error persist please share the full error log so that we can understand it better .

Thanks, @salmanfaris, I have solved this error previously. But for me there is no error, code is getting uploaded smoothly but the data is not getting uploaded to the firebase!
Do I have to change any settings in the firebase page? for uploading the data!!

After uploading the code... I have the below log!!

Thanks, @rafitc99. But even this didn't solve my problem!!
I have changed the code in the below format...

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <FirebaseArduino.h>       

// Set these to run example.
#define FIREBASE_HOST "syndinnovate-1.firebaseio.com"
#define FIREBASE_AUTH "AIzaS********************7hKQe4uPbfUKHc"
#define WIFI_SSID "SSID"
#define WIFI_PASSWORD "PASS"

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  delay(1000);                
  WiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD);                                     //try to connect with wifi
  Serial.print("Connecting to ");
  Serial.print(WIFI_SSID);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.print(".");
    delay(500);
  }
  Serial.println();
  Serial.print("Connected to ");
  Serial.println(WIFI_SSID);
  Serial.print("IP Address is : ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());                                            //print local IP address
  Firebase.begin(FIREBASE_HOST, FIREBASE_AUTH);                              // connect to firebase                                                               //Start reading dht sensor
}

void loop() {                                                             //Convert RainSensr data into string
  
  Firebase.pushString("/NEW", "No");   
  delay(1000);//setup path and send readings
  Firebase.pushString("/NEW", "Yes");                                //setup path and send readings
  delay(1000);//setup path and send readings
}

@Anudeep Ok , compilation part is clear .did you getting anything on the firebase side ? Any erros ?

[Anudeep]

@salmanfaris Nothing, No errors!!
Do I need to change anything in Firebase settings or something?

[Anudeep]

@salmanfaris Thanks for the support!!
I finally resolved the error. I have taken FIREBASE_AUTH as apiKey instead of Database secrets.

[salmanfaris]

@Anudeep Great . Glad to know that it is solved , Keep hacking 🤖

@Anudeep Hello Anudeep could you please help me out by elaborating the fix to get rid of that error?
Thanks in advance.
