Hello, amazing people :)

          Now in this project, we are going to display live data of corona virus cases and death all over the world with the help of Thing speak and ESP8266. You can also monitor other data with this method.

Idea:- nowadays the world phasing great trouble with this corona virus and I just think about monitoring the cases and death of COVID-19 virus for live update. 

The component you need:- 

-node MCU (ESP8266)

-16*2 LCD

data fetching process is given in the below image:-

Amazing_Mj

Connection of LCD to node MCU like this:-

Amazing_Mj

(I suggest to not use pin D0 and D8 of node MCU because of this pins get pull low when you upload a code) 

Code:-

//start code

/*this project fetch the data from the internet 

make the changes in this code shown in the video of AMAZING_MJ */

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

#include <ESP8266WiFiMulti.h>

#include <ESP8266HTTPClient.h>

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

LiquidCrystal lcd(D6, D5, D4, D3, D2, D1);  //PINS OF LCD(16*2) do not use D0 or D8

ESP8266WiFiMulti WiFiMulti;

void setup() {

  lcd.begin(16, 2);

  Serial.begin(115200);

  for (uint8_t t = 4; t > 0; t--) {

    Serial.flush();

    delay(1000);

  }

  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);

  WiFiMulti.addAP("YOUR_SSID", "YOUR_PASSWORD");   //your SSID and PASSWORD

  lcd.setCursor(0, 0);

  lcd.print("    COVID-19 LIVE MONITORING");

  for (int i = 0; i < 24; i++) {

    lcd.scrollDisplayLeft();

    delay(500);

  }

  lcd.clear();

  delay(100);

  lcd.setCursor(0, 1);

  lcd.print("BY- AMAZING_MJ");

  delay(2000);

  lcd.clear();

}

void loop() {

  if ((WiFiMulti.run() == WL_CONNECTED)) {

    HTTPClient http;

    http.begin("http://api.thingspeak.com/apps/thinghttp/send_request?api_key=5RGM17DP11R5IXGF");  //paste your thingspeak link here

                                                                                                   //don't forgot to remove 's' from https:

    int httpCode = http.GET();

    if (httpCode > 0) {

      if (httpCode == HTTP_CODE_OK) {

        String payload = http.getString();

        Serial.println(payload);

        String death = payload.substring(15, 21);

        Serial.println(death);

        lcd.setCursor(0, 0);

        lcd.print("CASES:-");

        lcd.setCursor(8, 0);

        lcd.print(payload);

        lcd.setCursor(0, 1);

        lcd.print("DEATH:-");

        lcd.setCursor(8, 1);

        lcd.print(death);

      }

    }

    else {

      Serial.printf("[HTTP] GET... failed, error: %s\n", http.errorToString(httpCode).c_str());

    }

    http.end();

  }

  delay(1000);

}

//end here
