Write a python program that I can use to run on my raspberry pi pico w zero that will check for mqtt messages. Don't block, and blink the LED on every loop iteration so I know it's polling. When it gets a message then set the LED solid for a second.
Write a python program that I can use to run on my raspberry pi pico w zero that will check for mqtt messages. Don't block, and blink the LED on every loop iteration so I know it's polling. When it gets a message then set the LED solid for a second.
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**

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
