The Problem
In part 1 of this series we have covered the schematics and hardware for a IoT parking sensor. Now we are gonna have a look into the software which is able to transmit the state of the device to an arbitrary MQTT broker.
The Solution
The software is straight forward:
- Set up the display
- Connect to the WiFi
- Connect to the MQTT broker
- Read and transmit the sensor reading continuously
Here is my implementation:
WLAN_SSID = "iot"
WLAN_PASS = "iot12345"
MQTT_BROKER = "iot.eclipse.org"
MQTT_TOPIC = "bytebang/pps/a"
-- setup the display
gdisplay.attach(gdisplay.SSD1306_128_64, gdisplay.LANDSCAPE, false, 0x3c)
gdisplay.clear()
gdisplay.setfont(gdisplay.UBUNTU16_FONT)
-- Configure wifi in Station Mode with SSID
gdisplay.write({gdisplay.CENTER,gdisplay.CENTER},"cnnct: " .. WLAN_SSID)
net.wf.setup(net.wf.mode.STA, WLAN_SSID, WLAN_PASS)
net.wf.start()
tmr.sleepms(10000)
-- Get current time from sntp server
net.service.sntp.start()
net.service.sntp.stop()
-- connect to mqtt broker
server = MQTT_BROKER
print(MQTT_BROKER .. ": "..net.lookup(MQTT_BROKER))
gdisplay.write({gdisplay.CENTER,20},MQTT_BROKER)
-- Connect to the MQTT Broker
client = mqtt.client("myuniqueclientid",MQTT_BROKER, 1883, false)
client:connect("","")
-- READ THE SENSOR - GPIO13 (TRIG) and GPIO14 (ECHO)
s = sensor.attach("US015", pio.GPIO13, pio.GPIO15)
s:set("temperature", 25)
-- inifinte loop
while true do
dist = 999
-- read the distance
try(function() dist = s:read("distance") end)
-- display it on the screen
gdisplay.clear()
gdisplay.write({gdisplay.CENTER,gdisplay.CENTER},tostring(dist))
-- transmit the value, and reconnect on error
try(function() client:publish(MQTT_TOPIC,1 - (dist/100) ,mqtt.QOS0) end,
function() client:connect("","")end)
-- wait for a second
tmr.sleepms(1000)
end
WLAN_PASS = "iot12345"
MQTT_BROKER = "iot.eclipse.org"
MQTT_TOPIC = "bytebang/pps/a"
-- setup the display
gdisplay.attach(gdisplay.SSD1306_128_64, gdisplay.LANDSCAPE, false, 0x3c)
gdisplay.clear()
gdisplay.setfont(gdisplay.UBUNTU16_FONT)
-- Configure wifi in Station Mode with SSID
gdisplay.write({gdisplay.CENTER,gdisplay.CENTER},"cnnct: " .. WLAN_SSID)
net.wf.setup(net.wf.mode.STA, WLAN_SSID, WLAN_PASS)
net.wf.start()
tmr.sleepms(10000)
-- Get current time from sntp server
net.service.sntp.start()
net.service.sntp.stop()
-- connect to mqtt broker
server = MQTT_BROKER
print(MQTT_BROKER .. ": "..net.lookup(MQTT_BROKER))
gdisplay.write({gdisplay.CENTER,20},MQTT_BROKER)
-- Connect to the MQTT Broker
client = mqtt.client("myuniqueclientid",MQTT_BROKER, 1883, false)
client:connect("","")
-- READ THE SENSOR - GPIO13 (TRIG) and GPIO14 (ECHO)
s = sensor.attach("US015", pio.GPIO13, pio.GPIO15)
s:set("temperature", 25)
-- inifinte loop
while true do
dist = 999
-- read the distance
try(function() dist = s:read("distance") end)
-- display it on the screen
gdisplay.clear()
gdisplay.write({gdisplay.CENTER,gdisplay.CENTER},tostring(dist))
-- transmit the value, and reconnect on error
try(function() client:publish(MQTT_TOPIC,1 - (dist/100) ,mqtt.QOS0) end,
function() client:connect("","")end)
-- wait for a second
tmr.sleepms(1000)
end
Just save this snippet into a *.lua file and execute it from the shell. If you want to run it as soon as the ESP32 is powered up, then place it into the autorun.lua
OK - it is just a prototype, the following problems are not addressed within this snippet:
- Initial configuration of the MQTT and WIFI settings via shell or a commandline
- Reconnect if the WiFi becomes unavailable
- Consistent logging to the screen
- Usage of the secret reed sensor
- <Insert any other cool feature here>
