Tutorial ESP8266 Control Servo Node-RED MQTT (Mosquitto) IoT #2

Reciente Unknown   6:55:00 p.m.

This time the integration of ESP8266 and the Node-RED platform has been made integrating an actuator in this case a servo controlled by PWM with rotation from 0 to 180 degrees.
From an HMI or SCADA Web creator on Node-Red-Dashboard using as base the MQTT Protocol and pubsubclient library converting the ESP8266 into MQTT Client.

Arduino IDE
The ESP8266 module has been configured as an MQTT client, as subscriber of the "servo" topic, the ESP8266 will receive a value from 0 to 100% and will convert it from 0 to 180 degrees for servo control via PWM by GPIO 02.

Mosquitto MQTT Broker
Previously it has been installed in a computer with lubuntu (Ubuntu) Linux, the server Broker MQTT which performs the management of messages in the network, Mosquitto has been used in this case.

Node-Red
A sequence of nodes has been created to send data from the Dashboard.

Tutorial ESP8266 and Node-RED MQTT GPIO (Mosquitto) # 1

Reciente Unknown   7:41:00 a.m.

To integrate the module ESP8266 with node-red IoT platform has been used MQTT protocol, there are client libraries for esp8266 as MQTT in this case I decided to use the library pubsubclient.

This example will receive Node Red that receives data from the ESP8266 and allow control a LED connected to GPIO 02 from a dashboard created in Node Red Dashboard .

Test Led ESP8266 MQTT Mosquitto Node Red  IoT # 1

Arduino IDE add the pubsubclient library using the search engine libraries or manually by downloading the library and storing it in their respective folder for libraries.

Tutorial 5: Installation of Mosquitto Broker MQTT in Lubuntu
Tutorial 6: Program ESP8266 con Arduino IDE


Arduino IDE code
Arduino IDE code performs several steps but definire major, Broker connection with MQTT, function post (send messages) even specific topic and subscribe function (receive messages) even specific topic.
Note: At the bottom of the post code Full IDE arduino

1 .Parameters Network 
Set parameters network  PASSWORD  and SSID is required to have previously installed a MQTT Broker server which performs the function server broker, in this case I use Mosquitto MQTT.

const char* ssid = "##############";
const char* password = "###############";
const char* mqtt_server = "192.168.0.19";

2. Function publish ("topic" message)

 client.publish("event", "hello world");

3. subscribe Function ("topic")
the subscribe function makes a call to the callback function for data reception

  client.subscribe("event");

4. callback function
This function enter 3 personal parameters of the library pubsubclient.h topic, payload (load) and size, performs printing  of the topic and the message, to turn on the LED diode sweeps payload in a specific position to determine the state 1 or 0.

void callback(char* topic, byte* payload, unsigned int length) {
  Serial.print("Message arrived [");
  Serial.print(topic);
  Serial.print("] ");
  for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
    Serial.print((char)payload[i]);
  }
  Serial.println();

  // Switch on the LED if an 1 was received as first character
  if ((char)payload[0] == '0') {
     Serial.println("LOW");
    digitalWrite(2, LOW);   // Turn the LED on (Note that LOW is the voltage level
    // but actually the LED is on; this is because
    // it is acive low on the ESP-01)
  } 

 if ((char)payload[0] == '1') {
    Serial.println("HIGH");
    digitalWrite(2, HIGH);  // Turn the LED off by making the voltage HIGH
  }

}

Node Red
1 Node client receiving messages MQTT (subscribe) from ESP8266 through the topic "event" node debugging and debug.
2 Building 2 button "On" "Off" for sending node values MQTT (publish) to ESP8266 topic "event"
3 Node text text output to display status LED diode.

Installation Mosquitto Broker MQTT in lubuntu (Ubuntu) Linux

Installation Mosquitto Broker MQTT in lubuntu (Ubuntu) Linux

Reciente Unknown   6:10:00 a.m.

That is MQTT ?
In short MQTT is a TCP / IP protocol lightweight messaging, the model is publication - subscriber requires a message broker  which is responsible for directing recipients through a topic  in common.
It is considered to Andrew James Stanford-Clark as the author of this protocol.
More information MQTT Wikipedia.
Official Website: mqtt.org

Application
I believe that this protocol is very practical and is currently implemented in IoT and M2M "machine-to-machine" applications, field application in this case would be sending monitoring and control data between servers, sensors and actuators.

Installation of Mosquitto Broker MQTT in lubuntu (Ubuntu) Linux

MQTT to connect devices with Node-red I use mosquitto as Broker, this is an extra complement Node red in the next tutorial installation.

Enter the terminal lubuntu command as root.

Add mosquitto repositories dev

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mosquitto-dev/mosquitto-ppa 

Update repositories linux

sudo apt-get update

Install broker mosquitto

sudo apt-get install mosquitto

Install development libraries

sudo apt-get install libmosquitto-dev

Installing client MQTT

sudo apt-get install mosquitto-clients

Check that mosquitto is running

sudo service mosquitto status

Node red Dashboard
Node red has dashboard to create and view dashboards to interact with the devices in the internet of things.
There was an earlier version call node-red-contrib-ui which was replaced by node-red-dashboard created by Dave Conway-Jones (dceejay) thanks for your great contribution.

In this case we will install this add to our Node-red, previously installed  Lubuntu (Ubuntu) in next tutorials integrate devices already used previously as Arduino and ESP8266.

Installing Node-Red Platform

Longtime had wanted to try this platform called Node-red created by IBM, was developed in nodejs, Node red is developed by Nick O'Leary and Dave Conway-Jones thanks for their contributions.
But that is Node-red ?
It is an open source graphical tool based connection nodes containing API'S and / or services for communication and / or connecting devices to the Internet
of things, has a friendly web interface contains a variety of basic and complex functions IoT, there is also an online version of node red called IBM bluemix.
There are many tutorials to install Node-red on a local server, but these tutorials although very complete I did not work properly, I decided collect the steps to install Node-red in Linux, in this case Lubuntu (Ubuntu) I hope you will his liking this guide.
Applications
No need to be a great programmer to use Node-red, although his native language is javascript with a few tutorials will be very easy to make applications Arduino or ESP8266 or other platforms.
Currently installed Node red on Raspberry pi, excellent, although effected, since testing I decided to install it on Lubuntu (Linux) by hardware capacity.
Tutorial Install lubuntu

For testing I have previously installed a virtual machine with lubuntu, through the SSH client PuTTY equivalent to a command terminal.

Let's start with the nodejs and Node-red installation

Repository Update

sudo apt-get update

Install nodejs.

sudo apt-get install node.js -y

sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy

Install git

sudo apt-get install git -y

Clone repository with source code on github Node-red

git clone https://github.com/node-red/node-red.git

Enter node red  folder

cd node-red

Install npm

sudo apt-get install npm -y

Install dependencies Node-red

npm install

Top folder

cd ..

Install grunt-cli globally

sudo npm install -g grunt-cli

Enter node red  folder

cd node-red

build and run Node-red application

grunt build

virtualbox Unknown   10:33:00 a.m.

I decided to create my desktop a virtual machine in VirtualBox with Lubuntu (Linux) combination LXDE and Ubuntu, the purpose of this virtual machine is testing the Platform IoT Node-Red Interconnect devices like Arduino and ESP8266 among others .
Official Pages lubuntu.net & lubuntu.me

VirtualBox is installed on Windows, download the latest version of lubuntu in this case lubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-i386.iso for later installation.

Architecture

Clarifying that current and commonly Node-Red is installed on the platform Raspberry pi, a very practical and excellent use for this great device, but I decided to virtualize Lubuntu Linux for practicality, lightness and stability of hardware, there are also other current platforms excellent virtualization as docker among others, I hope this tutorial is taken as an introduction to those who do not conecen linux and a reminder to those already familiar with this powerful operating system and .. have fun.
