MqttPrint

A Arduino library MqttPrint

Easy Arduino example:

#if defined(ESP32)
#include <WiFi.h>
#else
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#endif

#include "MqttPrint.h"

// Update these with values suitable for your network.

const char* ssid = "YOUR_WIFI_SSID";
const char* password = "YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD";

const char* MqttServer = "broker.emqx.io";
const char* MessageTopic = "YOUR_MQTT_SUB_TOPIC";

void setup() {

    Serial.begin(115200);
    
    //
    // Begin to connect to thw WiFi AP.
    //
    Serial.println("setup : Attempting to connect...");
    WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
    WiFi.begin(ssid, password); // Connect to WiFi.

    int count = 0;
    while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
        if (count > 30)
        break;
        delay(500);
        Serial.print(".");
        count++;
    }

    Serial.println("");
    Serial.println("WiFi connected");
    Serial.println("IP address: ");
    Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
    
    mbegin(MqttServer, 1883, MessageTopic);

}

void loop() {
    mprint("millis = ");
    mprintln(millis());
    mprintln("Hello World");
    mprintf("TEST = %d\n", millis());
    delay(1000);
}
