IoT with AME

IoT with AME - The Internet of Things, with Arduino, MQTT, and ESP8266

Voltage controller (left), status LED (RGB; top), Arduino (top right), ESP8266 (bottom right, on adapter) - My standard hardware stack

This is work in progress started in June 2017 - I am in the process of typing out my experiences with IoT, Arduino, and ESP8266, as a documentation for myself and as something that might be helpful to others.

• MQTT - A protocol for connecting IoT devices
• Software for building IoT devices: PubSubClient, Client-adapter, ESP8266 (out in the open) or, alternatively, AC_IOT, AC_MQTT, ACP_TCPESP8266, and AC_ESP8266 (my own stack)
• Software Problems: SoftwareSerial, memory use, debugging
• Hardware for building IoT devices: Arduino, ESP8266, additional hardware
• Hardware Problems: Current spikes, flaky ESP8266 behavior
• Pitfalls - Things that can go wrong, and how to address them
• Challenges - How to overcome hardware and software limitations
• Management - How to manage an IoT installation
• My IoT projects - What I built over time
• To Do - What I would like to improve and add in this Wiki
