boot.py

The ESP32 startup file.

# This file is executed on every boot (including wake-boot from deepsleep)
#import esp
#esp.osdebug(None)
#import webrepl
#webrepl.start()
import utime
utime.sleep(4)
import test

test.py

Main executable called from startup. This demo is pulled from the README documentation with local changes.

Configure SERVER here.

from mqtt_as import MQTTClient
from config import config
import uasyncio as asyncio

SERVER = '192.168.0.13'  # Change to suit e.g. 'iot.eclipse.org'

def callback(topic, msg, retained):
    print((topic, msg, retained))

    await client.subscribe('foo_topic', 1)

    await client.connect()
    n = 0
    while True:
        await asyncio.sleep(5)
        print('publish', n)
        # If WiFi is down the following will pause for the duration.
        await client.publish('result', '{}'.format(n), qos = 1)
        n += 1

MQTTClient.DEBUG = True  # Optional: print diagnostic messages
client = MQTTClient(config)
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
try:
    loop.run_until_complete(main(client))
finally:
    client.close()  # Prevent LmacRxBlk:1 errors

config.py

mqtt_as configuration as found in distribution directory with mosquitto server and wifi changes.

Configure MQTT server, ssid and password.

# config.py Local configuration for mqtt_as demo programs.

# For demos ensure the same calling convention for LED's on all platforms.
# ESP8266 Feather Huzzah reference board has active low LED's on pins 0 and 2.
# ESP32 is assumed to have user supplied active low LED's on same pins.
# Call with blue_led(True) to light
