*How to upload data to the cloud.
The second part describes how to visualize on the dashboard of Ubidots. That last shows how to set up events so as to get a notification.
The procedure here described was tested on a SBC Lynx running Debian distribution. For more details, please refer to [[XUELK-AN-002:_Running_Debian_distribution|this application note].
====Connecting and uploading data to Ubidots====
As stated before, it is assumed that the board runs a Debian distribution:
</pre>
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
easy_install pip
pip install ubidots
</pre>
Go to the [website of the ubidots Ubidots cloud, https://ubidots.com/ ] and click the sign up option on the right upper corner of the website and create the account .
I have created for my activity and here I put it in below
username =zerihun
To create an instance, the code is:
<pre class="board-terminal">
from ubidots import ApiClient
api = ApiClient(token=' fwSetosAgIG3d128YdzP5fi4hADzWU ')
</pre>
After establishing the instance with the cloud, we will retrieve the variable.

<pre class="board-terminal">
from ubidots import ApiClient
import random
test_value_3 = random.randint(1,10)
test_value_3 = my_variable_3.save_value({'value':test_value_3})
</pre>
When we execute this python code from the SBC Lynx board, it will send random data to the ubidots (to each variable, in my case it is three variable)
