Schematics

Base Particle Argon

This is the base Particle Argon, connecting the ADA372 Thermistor and the MAX7219 LED Matrix Display

Receiver Particle Argon

This is the receiver Particle Argon.

Code

Base Particle Argon

C/C++
This code was used in the base Particle Argon, containing both a thermistor and display, responsible for passing the data to the receiver particle and the ThingSpeak webhook.
// This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE.
#include <ledmatrix-max7219-max7221.h>
#include <math.h>


int C = D7;
int B = A2;
int previouschecktime = 0;
#define Data_Upload_Frequency 10000

    double temperature_celcius() {
      return (25*3950)/(3950+25*log(3.3/(analogRead(B)-1)));
}

LEDMatrix *led;
int bitmapWidth = 8; 
//String text = "Temp:";  
String text = String(temperature_celcius());
int mode = 0;
int textLength = text.length();
int textX = bitmapWidth;
int fontWidth = 5, space = 1;

void drawText(String s, int x)
{
  int y = 0;
  for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
    led->drawChar(x + i*(fontWidth+space), y, s[i], true, false, 1);
  }
}

void setup() {
  led = new LEDMatrix(4, 1, D2, D3, D4);
  led->addMatrix(3, 0, 0, false, false);
  led->addMatrix(2, 0, 0, false, false);
  led->addMatrix(1, 0, 0, false, false);
  led->addMatrix(0, 0, 0, false, false);
  
  Particle.variable("M3171G24CaseTempDataOutput",temperature_celcius());
  Particle.subscribe("ReceivedTempDataGroup24",clean);
  pinMode(C, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  if(led != NULL) {
    drawText(text, textX--);
    if(textX < textLength*(fontWidth+space)*(-1)) {
      textX = bitmapWidth;
      led->flush();
      delay(1000);  
      led->fillScreen(false);
    }
    led->flush();
    delay(250);
  }

    previouschecktime = millis();
    Particle.publish("TempDataGroup24", String(temperature_celcius()), PUBLIC);

    digitalWrite(C, HIGH);
    delay(2000);
    digitalWrite(C, LOW);
    delay(8000);
    }
}

Receiver Particle Argon

C/C++
This code was used for the receiver Particle Argon, which provides a notification via an included LED when the temperature exceeds a certain value.
int B = D7;
int previouschecktime = 0;
#define Data_Upload_Frequency 10000

void setup() {
  Particle.subscribe("TempDataGroup24", temperature);
  pinMode(B, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
}

void temperature(const char *event, String data){
    int dataval;
    dataval=String(data).toInt();
    if (dataval >1) 
    {
    digitalWrite(B, HIGH);
    }
    else{
    digitalWrite(B, HIGH);
    delay(1000);
    digitalWrite(B, LOW);
    }
    if ((previouschecktime + Data_Upload_Frequency < millis()) && (dataval)) {
    int previouschecktime = millis();
    delay(2000);
    publishdata();
    }
}

void publishdata() {
    Particle.publish("ReceivedTempGroup24",  PRIVATE); 
    }
