Data From Arduino Yun To Google Spreadsheet - google-sheets

Question

I am working on a project where I am sending a timestamp from and Arduino Yun to a Google Spreadsheet. I have a PIR Sensor connected to the Yun. When motion is detected I am sending the value to the spreadsheet. Currently the value is going into one column.
This is not ideal because I want to create a chart from the data so I want the time and date to be in two different columns. Like the sample below.
Arduino Sketch
#include <Bridge.h>
#include <Temboo.h>
#include "TembooAccount.h"
#include <Process.h>
int pir_pin = 8;
Process date;
int hours, minutes, seconds;
int lastSecond = -1;
const String GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID = "";
const String GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET = "";
const String GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN = "";
const String SPREADSHEET_TITLE = "";
int numRuns = 1;
int maxRuns = 100;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
delay(4000);
pinMode(pir_pin, INPUT);
while (!Serial);
Serial.println("Time Check");
if (!date.running()) {
date.begin("date");
date.addParameter("+%T %D");
date.run();
}
Serial.print("Initializing the bridge... ");
Bridge.begin();
Serial.println("Done!\n");
}
void loop()
{
if (digitalRead(pir_pin) == true) {
if (!date.running()) {
date.begin("date");
date.addParameter("+%T %D");
date.run();
}
while (date.available() > 0) {
String timeString = date.readString();
int firstColon = timeString.indexOf(":");
int secondColon = timeString.lastIndexOf(":");
String hourString = timeString.substring(0, firstColon);
String minString = timeString.substring(firstColon + 1, secondColon);
String secString = timeString.substring(secondColon + 1);
hours = hourString.toInt();
minutes = minString.toInt();
lastSecond = seconds;
seconds = secString.toInt();
if (numRuns <= maxRuns) {
Serial.println("Running AppendRow - Run #" + String(numRuns++));
unsigned long now = millis();
Serial.println("Getting sensor value...");
Serial.println("Appending value to spreadsheet...");
TembooChoreo AppendRowChoreo;
AppendRowChoreo.begin();
AppendRowChoreo.setAccountName(TEMBOO_ACCOUNT);
AppendRowChoreo.setAppKeyName(TEMBOO_APP_KEY_NAME);
AppendRowChoreo.setAppKey(TEMBOO_APP_KEY);
AppendRowChoreo.setChoreo("/Library/Google/Spreadsheets/AppendRow");
AppendRowChoreo.addInput("ClientID", GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID);
AppendRowChoreo.addInput("ClientSecret", GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET);
AppendRowChoreo.addInput("RefreshToken", GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN);
AppendRowChoreo.addInput("SpreadsheetTitle", SPREADSHEET_TITLE);
String rowData = timeString;
AppendRowChoreo.addInput("RowData", rowData);
unsigned int returnCode = AppendRowChoreo.run();
if (returnCode == 0) {
Serial.println("Success! Appended " + rowData);
Serial.println("");
} else {
while (AppendRowChoreo.available()) {
char c = AppendRowChoreo.read();
Serial.print(c);
}
}
AppendRowChoreo.close();
}
Serial.println("Waiting...");
delay(5000);
}
}
}
How would I alter the code to achieve the above.

I work for Temboo.
You can set multiple columns in the AppendRow Choreo by separating each value in rowData with a comma. For your case, you'd want your rowData to look like this: "19:35:26,4/22/2016". You could try something like timeString.replace(" ",",");.
Hopefully this helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us at https://temboo.com/support
