  ESP8266 based temperature logging to Thingspeak
 
 This example shows how to log data from Arduino to Thingspeak using ESP8266 wifi module.
 ThingSpeak is an open source Internet of Things (IoT) application and API to store and 
 retrieve data from things using the HTTP protocol over the Internet or via a Local Area Network.
 ThingSpeak enables the creation of sensor logging applications, location tracking applications,
 and a social network of things with status updates.
 
 To log the data to thingspeak, you need to create thingspeak account and then create channel and 
 use that channel's API Key in this code.
 
 In this example we have used ELClient.h library to log data to thingspeak. Temperature values from
 LM35 temperature sensor are logged to thingspeak every 16 seconds for 30 minutes. This interval rate 
 and duration is configurable. thingspeak needs 15 sec delay between updates.
