Getting started with MQTT

#HackTheBase

This workshop provides a fundamental understanding of MQTT and hands-on experience of how easy it is to create your first Arduino application sending sensor data via MQTT.
 
Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is a machine-to-machine, publish/subscribe protocol. It works with TCP/IP and is suitable for low data transmission or when conservation of bandwidth is the priority. 
 
In this protocol, end-users or clients communicate through a “broker” (server). Data is sent to the broker using a “topic” and other clients can receive this data from the broker if they have subscribed to this topic.
 
This workshop explains the workings of the protocol, and how to use the same to transmit data at a low rate using Arduino IDE.
