Als Basis für mögliche Erweiterungen wird beispielhaft ein MQTT-Client auf den ESP32 "geflasht". Hierfür existieren viele bereits vorhandene Lösungen. Hier wird https://github.com/knolleary/pubsubclient von Nick O'Leary benutzt. Es handelt sich um eine in C für die Arduino-IDE geschriebene MQTT-Client-Library mit Beispielprogrammen.

Die zwei Library-Dateien von https://github.com/knolleary/pubsubclient/tree/master/src besteht aus den Dateien PubSubClient.cpp und PubSubClient.h werden in das libraries-Installationsverzeichnis der Arduino IDE in einen Ordner PubSubClient kopiert. (Oder einfacher: https://moodle.eick-at.de/pluginfile.php/692/mod_page/content/3/PubSubClient.zip dort auspacken.)

Das originale Beispielprogramm mqtt_esp8266.ino für den ESP8266 (Vorgänger des ESP32) wird hier leicht angepasst:

  1. Die zu inkludierende Library für den ESP32 heißt WiFi.h (Zeile 24).
  2. Da das verwendete Board ESP32-DevKitC V4 keine eingebaute, ansteuerbare LED besitzt, werden entsprechende Befehle auskommentiert.

Vor dem Kompilieren und Hochladen müssen noch das WLAN mit Kennwort, sowie der Name des MQTT-Brokers genauer spezifiziert werden (Zeilen 26-28):

/*
 Basic ESP8266 MQTT example
 This sketch demonstrates the capabilities of the pubsub library in combination
 with the ESP8266 board/library.
 It connects to an MQTT server then:
  - publishes "hello world" to the topic "outTopic" every two seconds
  - subscribes to the topic "inTopic", printing out any messages
    it receives. NB - it assumes the received payloads are strings not binary
  - If the first character of the topic "inTopic" is an 1, switch ON the ESP Led,
    else switch it off
 It will reconnect to the server if the connection is lost using a blocking
 reconnect function. See the 'mqtt_reconnect_nonblocking' example for how to
 achieve the same result without blocking the main loop.
 To install the ESP8266 board, (using Arduino 1.6.4+):
  - Add the following 3rd party board manager under "File -> Preferences -> Additional Boards Manager URLs":
       http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
  - Open the "Tools -> Board -> Board Manager" and click install for the ESP8266"
  - Select your ESP8266 in "Tools -> Board"
