I have written a thingspeak arduino code for mkr1000 and uploaded it but i had problem in sending data to thingspeak once i run the code in serial monitor the values appeared in thingsspeak website , and now i unpluged the arduino board from my pc and connected it to a battery and the values are not displaying in thingspeak website and i waited for morethan 2 minutes .Then i again connected the board to my pc and opened the serial monitor in arduino ide now i can see the data appearing in thingspeak website . Do i need to run serial monitor everytime when i want to send my sensor data to arduino. or can i upload the code and use a battery directly as power souce to send data to thingspeak.

Description: Writes a value to a channel on ThingSpeak every 20 seconds.
Hardware: Arduino MKR1000
!!! IMPORTANT - Modify the secrets.h file for this project with your network connection and ThingSpeak channel details. !!!
Note:
- Requires WiFi101 library version 0.15.3 or newer.
- This example is written for a network using WPA encryption. For WEP or WPA, change the WiFi.begin() call accordingly.
ThingSpeak ( https://www.thingspeak.com ) is an analytic IoT platform service that allows you to aggregate, visualize, and
analyze live data streams in the cloud. Visit https://www.thingspeak.com to sign up for a free account and create a channel.
Documentation for the ThingSpeak Communication Library for Arduino is in the README.md folder where the library was installed.

I understand you're trying to send data to ThingSpeak when the device is powered by a battery, but you're encountering some issues.
The MKR1000 should indeed be capable of transmitting data to ThingSpeak independently of a PC connection. The challenge you're facing seems to stem from the fact that the code is programmed to wait for a serial connection in the `setup()` function, which naturally only occurs when the device is connected to a PC.
To resolve this, please consider the following steps:
1. Adjust the Serial Initialization:
- You should either comment out or entirely remove the line containing `while (!Serial)` in your `setup()` function. This change will allow your MKR1000 to continue with the Wi-Fi connection process and ultimately send data to ThingSpeak without waiting for a serial connection.
2. Verify the Power Supply:
- Make sure that the battery is providing sufficient power for the MKR1000, with particular attention to the Wi-Fi module's requirements.
3. Enhance Wi-Fi Connection Logic:
- It's crucial to ensure that the Wi-Fi module initializes correctly upon startup. Consider placing a `WiFi.begin()` call before the `while(WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED)` loop in your `setup()` function to establish the Wi-Fi connection right away.
Here's a revised version of the `setup()` function:
void setup() {
%Initialize serial communication at 9600 baud (optional for debugging)
Serial.begin(9600);
%Comment out or remove the following line to prevent waiting for serial connection
%while (!Serial) {
% Wait indefinitely for Serial to connect (only necessary for debugging)
% }
% Start the Wi-Fi connection process
WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
% Wait for Wi-Fi connection to establish
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(1000); % Wait 1 second before retrying
% Optionally, add an LED blink or serial print here for status indication
}
% Initialize ThingSpeak after Wi-Fi connection is established
ThingSpeak.begin(client);
}
4. Use Conditional Debugging:
- If you still need serial debugging, you can wrap the debugging statements in an `if (Serial)` check, which will ensure they're only executed when a serial connection is available.
By implementing these modifications, the MKR1000 should be ready to send data to ThingSpeak when powered by a battery.
I hope this helps.
