Output

Sure! Below is a MicroPython program tailored for the Raspberry Pi Pico W (assuming "Pico W Zero" is akin to Raspberry Pi Pico W) that connects to an MQTT broker, polls for messages without blocking, blinks the onboard LED on each loop iteration, and sets the LED solid for one second when a message is received. ### **Prerequisites** 1. **MicroPython Firmware**: Ensure your Pico W is flashed with the latest [MicroPython firmware](https://micropython.org/download/rp2-pico-w/). 2. **MQTT Broker**: You need access to an MQTT broker. If you don't have one, you can use public brokers like [Eclipse Mosquitto](https://test.mosquitto.org/) or set up your own using services like [HiveMQ](https://www.hivemq.com/). 3. **Thonny IDE**: It's recommended to use [Thonny](https://thonny.org/) or any other suitable IDE to upload the script to your Pico W. ### **Wiring the LED** The Raspberry Pi Pico W has an onboard LED connected to GPIO 25. If you’re using an external LED: - Connect the **anode** (+) to any GPIO pin (e.g., GPIO 15). - Connect the **cathode** (-) to a resistor (e.g., 220Ω) and then to the **GND** pin. Update the `LED_PIN` in the script accordingly. ### **MicroPython Script**

### **Explanation of the Code** 1. **Configuration Section**: Update the `WIFI_SSID`, `WIFI_PASSWORD`, `MQTT_BROKER`, `MQTT_PORT`, `MQTT_TOPIC_SUB`, and `MQTT_CLIENT_ID` with your network and MQTT broker details. 2. **LED Initialization**: The onboard LED is initialized on GPIO 25. If you're using an external LED, change the `LED_PIN` accordingly. 3. **Wi-Fi Connection (`connect_wifi`)**: This function connects the Pico W to the specified Wi-Fi network and waits until the connection is established. 4. **MQTT Callback (`on_message`)**: When an MQTT message is received on the subscribed topic, this callback sets the `message_received` flag to `True` and prints the message. 5. **Main Loop (`main`)**: - **LED Blinking**: The LED blinks with a 0.1-second interval to indicate that the loop is running and polling for messages. - **Checking for Messages**: `client.check_msg()` checks for new MQTT messages without blocking. If a message arrives, the `on_message` callback is invoked. - **Handling Received Messages**: If `message_received` is `True`, the LED is set solid (`ON`) for 1 second to indicate a message was received, then turned off and the flag is reset. - **Reconnection Logic**: If the connection to the MQTT broker is lost, the script attempts to reconnect and resubscribe to the topic. 6. **Graceful Exit**: If the script is interrupted (e.g., via a keyboard interrupt), it disconnects from the MQTT broker before exiting. ### **Uploading the Script** 1. **Using Thonny**: - Open Thonny and select the Raspberry Pi Pico as the interpreter. - Copy the script into a new file in Thonny. - Replace the configuration placeholders with your actual Wi-Fi and MQTT broker details. - Save the script to your Pico W as `main.py` to have it run automatically on boot. 2. **Using other IDEs or Methods**: Ensure the file is saved as `main.py` on the Pico W's filesystem. ### **Running the Script** Once uploaded, reset your Pico W. The onboard LED should start blinking, indicating that the script is running and polling for MQTT messages. When a message is received on the subscribed topic, the LED will light up solidly for one second. ### **Testing MQTT Messaging** To test, publish a message to the subscribed topic using an MQTT client. For example, using the `mosquitto_pub` command-line tool:
1
mosquitto_pub -h mqtt_broker_address -t your/subscription/topic -m "Hello Pico W"
Replace `mqtt_broker_address` and `your/subscription/topic` with your actual broker address and topic. ### **Troubleshooting Tips** - **Wi-Fi Connection Issues**: Ensure the SSID and password are correct. Check if the Pico W is within range of the Wi-Fi network. - **MQTT Connection Issues**: Verify the broker address and port. Ensure there are no firewall rules blocking the connection. - **LED Not Working**: Confirm the correct GPIO pin is used in the script. For external LEDs, check the wiring. - **Script Not Running on Boot**: Ensure the file is named `main.py` and correctly saved to the Pico W. ### **Further Enhancements** - **Multiple Topics**: Modify the script to subscribe to multiple topics if needed. - **Payload Handling**: Extend the `on_message` callback to handle different payloads or perform actions based on message content. - **LED Effects**: Implement different LED patterns based on different events or messages. - **Error Handling**: Enhance the script with more robust error handling and retries. Feel free to customize and expand upon this script to better fit your project requirements!

Output

Certainly! Below is a **MicroPython** program tailored for the **Raspberry Pi Pico W Zero** that: 1. **Connects to Wi-Fi**. 2. **Connects to an MQTT broker** and subscribes to a specified topic. 3. **Continuously polls** for MQTT messages without blocking. 4. **Blinks the onboard LED** on every loop iteration to indicate polling activity. 5. **Sets the LED solidly** for one second when an MQTT message is received. ### Prerequisites 1. **MicroPython Firmware**: Ensure your Pico W Zero is flashed with the latest MicroPython firmware. You can download it from the [official MicroPython website](https://micropython.org/download/rp2-pico-w/). 2. **MQTT Broker**: You need access to an MQTT broker. You can use public brokers like `broker.hivemq.com` for testing purposes, or set up a private broker using tools like [Mosquitto](https://mosquitto.org/). 3. **MicroPython Libraries**: - `umqtt.simple` or `umqtt.robust`: These libraries facilitate MQTT communication. `umqtt.robust` offers better handling of network issues. - Ensure these libraries are present in your MicroPython environment. If not, you can upload them via tools like [Thonny](https://thonny.org/) or [rshell](https://github.com/dhylands/rshell). ### Hardware Setup - **Onboard LED**: The Raspberry Pi Pico W's onboard LED is typically connected to **GPIO 25**. This script assumes that's the case. If your board uses a different pin for the LED, adjust the `LED_PIN` accordingly. ### Complete MicroPython Script

### Detailed Explanation 1. **Import Statements**: - `network` for handling Wi-Fi connections. - `time` for delays. - `machine.Pin` for controlling the GPIO pins (LED). - `umqtt.simple` or `umqtt.robust` for MQTT functionalities. 2. **Configuration Section**: - Replace `'your_wifi_ssid'` and `'your_wifi_password'` with your actual Wi-Fi credentials. - Set `MQTT_BROKER` to your broker's address. For testing, `broker.hivemq.com` is a good public broker. - Set `MQTT_TOPIC` to the MQTT topic you want to subscribe to. Remember to prefix it with `b` to make it a byte string (e.g., `b'test/topic'`). 3. **Function `connect_wifi`**: - Activates the Wi-Fi interface. - Connects to the specified SSID and waits until the connection is established. - Prints the IP configuration once connected. 4. **Function `mqtt_callback`**: - Triggered when an MQTT message is received on the subscribed topic. - Prints the received message. - Lights up the LED solidly for one second, then turns it off to resume blinking. 5. **Function `reconnect`**: - Handles reconnection logic in case the MQTT connection is lost. - Disconnects, reconnects, and re-subscribes to the topic. 6. **Main Program**: - **LED Initialization**: Sets up the LED pin as an output and ensures it's off initially. - **Wi-Fi Connection**: Calls `connect_wifi` with the provided credentials. - **MQTT Client Initialization**: - Creates an MQTT client instance with the specified `CLIENT_ID`, `MQTT_BROKER`, and `MQTT_PORT`. - Sets the callback function to `mqtt_callback`. - Attempts to connect to the MQTT broker. If it fails, the device resets. - Subscribes to the specified MQTT topic. - **Main Loop**: - **Blinking the LED**: Toggles the LED state on each loop iteration to indicate that the program is actively polling. - **Polling for MQTT Messages**: Calls `client.check_msg()` which checks for incoming MQTT messages without blocking the program. If a message is received, `mqtt_callback` is invoked. - **Error Handling**: If there's an `OSError` (e.g., network issue), it attempts to reconnect. - **Delay**: A `0.5` second delay ensures the LED blink is visible and prevents the loop from running too quickly. 7. **Graceful Exit**: - If the program is interrupted (e.g., via a keyboard interrupt), it gracefully disconnects from the MQTT broker and turns off the LED. ### Uploading the Script 1. **Using Thonny IDE**: - Connect your Pico W Zero to your computer via USB. - Open Thonny and select the correct interpreter (`MicroPython (Raspberry Pi Pico)`). - Paste the script into a new file. - Replace the placeholder values with your actual Wi-Fi and MQTT configurations. - Save the file as `main.py` on the Pico W Zero. This ensures the script runs automatically on boot. 2. **Using `ampy` or `rshell`**: - If you prefer command-line tools, you can use `ampy` or `rshell` to upload the `main.py` script to your Pico W Zero. ### Testing the Setup 1. **Run the Script**: - Once the script is uploaded, reset your Pico W Zero. It should connect to Wi-Fi, connect to the MQTT broker, and start blinking the LED. 2. **Publish an MQTT Message**: - Use an MQTT client (like [MQTT Explorer](https://mqtt-explorer.com/) or [Mosquitto](https://mosquitto.org/download/)) to publish a message to the topic you subscribed to. - For example, publish `"Hello, Pico!"` to `your/topic`. 3. **Observe the LED Behavior**: - The onboard LED should blink continuously. - Upon receiving the MQTT message, the LED should stay solidly on for one second before resuming blinking. ### Additional Notes - **Non-Blocking Operation**: The `client.check_msg()` function is non-blocking in `umqtt.simple` and `umqtt.robust`, ensuring the main loop continues running and the LED continues to blink even when no messages are received. - **LED Visibility**: The blinking delay (`0.5` seconds) is set to make the LED blink at a visible rate. You can adjust this delay to speed up or slow down the blinking as desired. - **Security Considerations**: This script uses an unsecured MQTT connection. For production environments, consider using secure MQTT connections (e.g., over TLS) and authenticating with the broker. - **Error Handling**: The script includes basic error handling for MQTT connection issues. Depending on your application's requirements, you might want to enhance this to handle other potential errors. - **Extending Functionality**: You can modify the `mqtt_callback` function to perform other actions based on the received message, such as controlling other GPIO pins, updating variables, or communicating with other devices. ### Conclusion This script provides a simple yet effective way to monitor MQTT messages on a Raspberry Pi Pico W Zero while providing visual feedback through the onboard LED. It's designed to be non-blocking, ensuring that the device remains responsive and continues to indicate its polling activity continuously. Feel free to customize and expand upon this foundation to suit your specific project needs!
