| Re: [mosquitto-dev] MQTT-based voltage sensor |
This is a lot of code and doesn't have a lot to do with mosquitto.I have a voltage monitor that publishes data to my mqtt broker. You may have an easier time if you reduce your code to the smallest example of just publishing a number every second or so to a broker. You don't need SPIFFS or wifimanager (probably) or JSON parsing or anything like that to just publish a value. Once you can publish a value, you can understand how to combine that with all the other things you're doing.On Thu, Oct 15, 2020 at 3:34 PM mohamed Abdulmajid <gomaamohamed015@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:hello everyone ,i'm working on a voltage sensor that reads the input voltage and sends it through MQTT to a mobile application . i need help in the part of the code that is related to publishing the readings to the mqtt broker .this is my code :
