# Adafruit MQTT Library example with support
|
|
|
|
This example illustrates Publish an arbitrary data packet using the Adafruit MQTT library to an MQTT feed which can then be parsed by the included python subscriber client.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installing and configuring Mosquitto (minimal working setup)
|
|
####Installing on Raspberry Pi/Linux:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install mosquitto
|
|
cd /etc/mosquitto/
|
|
#See "Both" Setup Instructions Below
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
####Installing On a Mac:
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install mosquitto
|
|
cd /usr/local/etc/mosquitto
|
|
#See "Both" Setup Instructions Below
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
####Configuring Mosquitto
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo nano mosquitto.conf
|
|
```
|
|
Now we have to enable a password file to correctly interface with the Adafruit MQTT library. Scroll about two thirds of the way down until you see:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# -----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
# Default authentication and topic access control
|
|
# -----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should see `#password_file` about a paragraph after that.
|
|
Change
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#password_file
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
password_file pwfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now `ctrl-x` to save and exit.
|
|
|
|
You're almost done! We just have to create and populate the password file we just configured. The default user info is:
|
|
* **Arduino Subscriber:**
|
|
* Username: TestUser
|
|
* Password: TestUser
|
|
|
|
* **Python Subscriber:**
|
|
* Username: TestPy
|
|
* Password: TestPy
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
touch pwfile #create the password file
|
|
mosquitto_passwd pwfile TestUser #Enter and confirm password when prompted
|
|
mosquitto_passwd pwfile TestPy #Enter and confirm password when prompted
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
## Using Example Python Subscriber:
|
|
|
|
Install dependencies if haven't already
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ../Adafruit_MQTT_Library/examples/mqtt_arbitrary_buffer/python_subscriber
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run python script with default values and watch your parsed data print out.
|
|
```bash
|
|
python subscriber.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use help to see a list of modifiable options
|
|
```bash
|
|
python subscriber.py -h
|
|
```
