Week Eleven — MQTT Client - matthewlaujh/itpnyu-understandingnetworks GitHub Wiki

Build a microcontroller-based MQTT client for an environmental sensor, and configure it to send data about its environment to a class broker for at least a week. You can use a WiFi or cellular-based controller as long as your data reaches the broker consistently. For testing purposes you should use a public broker like shiftr.io or test.mosquitto.org, but once you have the client working properly, shift your destination to the class broker (address will be given in class). You can find multiple examples at this link.

Optional: To give yourself an extra challenge, set up a microservice on your hosted website to read from the broker and save your sensor’s data to a local file on your site.

Write a summary of your work and findings on your blog. We’ll compare notes in class.
