Updating highcharts live data not working - javascript

I have some UV Sensors (currently running on Thingspeak) - but I need to have multiple series on the same chart, so I made a sample .php page on my website.
I have the basic chart working nicely, but I have not been able to get it to do live updates - my coding skills are very lacking & I would appreciate any help I can get!
The sample chart is here: http://www.sesupply.co.nz/test.php
I have the code on JSFiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/SESupply/9xn65qrL/9/
// variables for the first series
var series_1_channel_id = 43330;
var series_1_field_number = 4;
var series_1_read_api_key = '7ZPHNX2SXPM0CA1K';
var series_1_results = 480;
var series_1_color = '#d62020';
var series_1_name = 'Zims Sensor';
// variables for the second series
var series_2_channel_id = 45473;
var series_2_field_number = 2;
var series_2_read_api_key = 'N12T3CWQB5IWJAU9';
var series_2_results = 480;
var series_2_color = '#00aaff';
var series_2_name = 'UVM30A';
// chart title
var chart_title = 'UV Sensors Zim / UVM30A';
// y axis title
var y_axis_title = 'UV Index';
// user's timezone offset
var my_offset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset();
// chart variable
var my_chart;
// when the document is ready
$(document).on('ready', function () {
// add a blank chart
addChart();
// add the first series
addSeries(series_1_channel_id, series_1_field_number, series_1_read_api_key, series_1_results, series_1_color, series_1_name);
// add the second series
addSeries(series_2_channel_id, series_2_field_number, series_2_read_api_key, series_2_results, series_2_color, series_2_name);

// offset in minutes is converted to milliseconds and subtracted so that chart's x-axis is correct

}
I have tried following the livedata example but seem to be failing miserably. The sensors update about every 60 seconds (only during the day - as there is no UV at night, I put the sensors into "sleep" mode to save battery power)

Stop Highchart when end of the Array element reached

So What I am trying to Create is a Chart in which around 130 points data are flowing in a single second time. Now, Suppose I Have an array of 1000 elements which I want to render in Highchart.
I am able to render the Highchart with the 1000 elements of array, but the problem is that after the end of the array, the Highchart is not stopping. it keeps running.
I just want to stop the Highchart when it reaches end of the array.
Here is the Code that I have tried
var data = [7,10,8,6,8,2,5,2,2,2,3,4,4,10,6,10,5,10,0,2,9,5,7,0,5,0,5,7,8,7,5,1,9,1,5,7,10,3,7,0,2,10,8,8,1,1,0,7,6,3,1,10,0,8,3,5,5,10,3,8,4,0,3,5,8,7,0,0,0,8,7,3,2,1,0,6,7,7,3,7,5,0,1,0,0,4,9,4,4,3,0,2,10,9,0,2,7,6,5,9,0,6,7,9,0,6,2,7,1,6,5,1,3,1,0,5,0,4,2,7,2,0,7,0,3,10,6,3,4,9,9,10,10,9,5,9,8,5,3,2,5,9,5,10,10,7,8,3,8,9,5,3,9,0,1,2,6,4,1,9,0,5,0,5,6,4,1,1,3,8,2,0,7,6,4,0,6,5,5,6,4,6,6,3,3,5,5,8,7,3,4,7,5,6,1,4,2,4,7,9,8,4,0,3,8,6,2,6,10,8,10,1,10,8,6,8,8,3,8,7,8,6,7,10,9,10,0,7,7,8,1,10,1,4,7,10,7,0,9,6,3,3,3,1,4,3,4,5,0,5,9,0,6,1,8,5,1,8,9,4,0,4,5,4,3,8,2,10,5,9,4,9,5,3,6,5,7,2,2,7,1,1,9,7,4,1,7,5,2,10,6,4,3,5,7,2,4,5,7,3,2,0,8,5,5,7,8,2,9,5,9,1,2,0,7,8,10,5,6,9,2,5,1,9,4,0,7,4,4,7,10,0,8,6,0,6,4,4,8,3,9,1,3,0,0,4,4,2,5,3,3,6,1,4,6,6,4,9,7,0,2,2,1,2,2,6,2,0,2,5,7,8,8,1,7,3,9,0,0,0,9,4,9,8,9,7,10,8,2,0,5,10,10,0,1,7,5,9,2,8,10,10,4,6,6,6,10,10,5,1,5,2,1,9,3,2,5,3,1,3,10,7,1,3,5,3,0,6,7,5,1,10,5,9,0,9,2,3,0,10,0,6,9,8,3,8,7,0,10,4,2,2,5,6,7,0,10,10,9,9,8,6,10,5,9,0,6,4,8,5,0,4,4,4,1,8,3,0,9,3,3,9,1,5,0,10,1,1,3,10,6,5,8,0,6,5,2,7,10,4,2,0,10,1,7,6,2,0,1,6,10,10,6,6,10,1,4,7,5,6,5,4,1,5,6,9,1,8,4,7,2,8,5,9,7,3,9,2,2,8,10,6,10,10,7,8,7,2,6,8,7,4,6,1,5,9,2,0,5,4,4,0,4,5,7,2,3,8,9,1,0,8,6,10,8,3,7,3,3,6,7,2,7,6,6,2,8,6,9,6,8,5,4,8,4,6,7,9,8,7,8,5,8,2,0,8,5,0,5,2,8,4,7,0,7,1,4,8,10,8,2,5,10,9,1,9,3,0,6,9,2,10,5,1,4,0,4,9,1,1,3,5,0,5,5,2,5,1,1,7,0,2,6,8,10,7,9,3,0,9,4,2,4,6,2,2,9,2,7,3,6,6,9,2,2,0,2,9,1,5,7,10,10,1,8,5,9,9,4,1,7,1,0,0,6,7,7,7,2,9,9,2,10,5,4,2,3,10,9,9,7,1,1,6,8,4,9,6,7,4,9,4,2,7,6,2,6,0,1,5,5,8,9,5,1,7,8,7,3,2,3,1,1,2,5,6,4,10,8,10,3,3,1,0,6,7,0,7,4,8,4,7,6,0,7,1,2,3,10,4,1,10,7,9,4,7,7,10,10,10,6,8,9,7,3,10,9,0,3,6,2,10,5,3,6,8,5,0,2,3,1,6,9,10,9,10,7,5,8,7,4,4,3,10,2,3,4,3,10,8,5,9,8,5,6,2,4,9,1,5,0,7,1,1,4,4,10,4,7,8,8,9,7,1,9,5,5,4,3,0,0,9,5,6,3,3,4,6,1,2,6,2,8,4,10,0,9,1,10,2,7,3,6,3,9,2,3,5,7,8,1,1,9,3,4,6,7,6,2,2,8,0,10,3,3,5,7,4,1,3,9,5,4,3,3,2,9,8,7,8,7,6,8,7,7,1,2,10,10,2,9,3,2,3,2,9,9,0,3,0,4,9,6,0,1,6,9,5,8,7,9,5,6,8,3,5,3,4,9,8,0,3,4,8,6,9,4,7,1,9,8,0,4,8,1,0,7,3,3,1,6,9,9,5,4,3,8,8,9,10,4,9,0,7,8,6,9,8,4,10,4,1,2,5,4,0,6,4,1];

I Have also created a Fiddle for it as you can see below.
https://jsfiddle.net/abnitchauhan/toqaxLj7/
Just clear Interval when it reached the last element of the array. check out following code.
var draw = setInterval(function() {
var x = (new Date()).getTime(), // current time
y =next();
console.log(y) ;
if (i == data.length) {
clearInterval(draw);
return;
}
series.addPoint([x, y], false, true);
chart.redraw(false);
}, 1000/130);

Highcharts not Drawing point on setInterval

I have data being put on an api every 30 seconds on a backend. On the frontend I am using highcharts to visualize the data and a setInterval setup to retrieve the new data every 30 seconds. My problem is that on that setInterval, the line graph disappears or does not draw to the next new dot. Does anyone now why this is?
fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/b8tf281n/3/
code:
chart1 = {
yAxisMin: 40,
yAxisMax: 100
};
// empty objects for our data and to create chart
seriesData = [];
BPM = [];
time1 = [];
// console.log(chart1.data.series);

BPM.push({

y: bpm

// console.log(BPM);
time1.push(time);

console.log((new Date).getTime());
console.log(moment(time, "DD.MM.YYYY hh:mm:ss"));
console.log(BPM);
console.log(BPM[BPM.length - 1]);

Your test.y is the problem. It returns undefined after one interval. Somehow BPM is changing in it's structure - changing each object from {x,y} to [0,1] - therefore I used:
y = (test.y !== undefined)? test.y : test[1];
to either get the previous structure or the new. I also set the interval to 3 seconds for you to see the difference easier. Here's the DEMO.

Highcharts tooltip not working

I cannot figure out how to get the 'to' and 'from' dates from my data into the tooltips. Tried various methods I found around SO. Anyone got any tips? I normally load data from CSV. Right now the data is hard-coded in the code.

I am able to add series and add point in charts but the series that I add after initialization, which is "volvo", is not drawing lines between its points. What might be the problem?
And is there any other way of comparing arrays and adding points without a for-loop? Because I can get millions of series at times and I don't want to be looping over arrays to check if it exists or not. So is there any efficient way of finding wheteher a list already exists, and if it does what is its index?
here is its fiddle: www.jsfiddle.net/2jYLz/
It is related with fact that you have enabled shifting in addPoint() when you add new serie. In other words, shifting remove first point and add new in the end of serie. So when you have one point it caused your scenario. So you need to disable shipfing, and when lenght of series.data achieve i.e 10 points, shifting should be enabled.

Adding Dynamic Data Series to High charts

×212414
×123754
I am calling a PageMethod in codebehind.aspx.cs file which returns me a string array[] in the javascript code in the aspx page the problem at hand is that string array returns Time(X axis-Value),Data/Name(Y axis Value),Type(Defines the type of chart (Spline or Column)) from a WEB SERVICE. I am using that data to add series dynamically to the chart. Using the function chart.AddSeries() but I am unable to do so.
Can anyone please guide me how to do that and upon doing that I want to add points to the particular Series.
Please Note that I would be displaying to types{Spline and Column} on the same chart.

This is what I've done and works like a charm. On a side-note, since you mentioned aspx page, why don't you just buy the dot net highcharts library? It makes life a lot easier if you're a dot net fan!
I am initially creating a chart with 5 elements, and then using the "iterated" JSON serialized string to pass data to client-side. Traversing the elements gives me a dynamic live chart!
Highcharts chart = new Highcharts("livechart")
.InitChart(new Chart
{
Events = new ChartEvents { Load = "ChartEventsLoad" }
})
.SetSeries(initialSeries)
.SetXAxis(new XAxis { Categories = lsst.ToArray() })
.AddJavascripVariable("iterated", iterateData.ToString())
.AddJavascripVariable("index", "5")
.AddJavascripFunction("ChartEventsLoad",
#"// set up the updating of the chart each 5 seconds
var result = iterated;
var theseries = eval(result); // De-serializing the JSON object
var loopseries = function() {
var sseries = livechart.series[0]
,shift = sseries.data.length > 5; // shift if the series is longer than 5;
sseries.addPoint(theseries[0].data[index], true, shift);
var sseries1 = livechart.series[1]
sseries1.addPoint(theseries[1].data[index], true, shift);
index++; };
setInterval(loopseries, 5000);")
You can add as many series as you like; you can use a loop if needed and the same code I've added as a function can be used to create the chart completely in Javascript.
