workshop นี้จะทำการต่อ switch 2 ตัวเข้ากับ nodemcu และให้ส่งค่าที่ได้มาที่ Node-red server ให้รับรู้นะคับ (ส่วนจะนำไปทำอะไรต่อ เด๋วว่ากันอีกทีครับ)

เราจะต่อวงจรตามนี้นะคับ มี R 10K pull up ให้เป็น 1 กระทั่งกดสวิตซ์จึงเป็น 0 นะคับ

จากนั้นให้เปิด Arduino ide ขึ้นมาเราจะเลือกใช้ Example ‘mqtt_esp8266’ มา modify นะคับ

/*
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"

}
void loop() {if (!client.connected()) {

}
client.loop();
// unsigned long now = millis();
// if (now - lastMsg > 2000) {
// lastMsg = now;

Serial.println("D1 is pressed");
snprintf (msg, MSG_BUFFER_SIZE, "S2");
client.publish("atthana/shout", msg);
digitalWrite(LED, LOW); // LED Buildin == ON
} else if(digitalRead(DOWN)==LOW){

Serial.println("D2 is pressed");
snprintf (msg, MSG_BUFFER_SIZE, "S3");
client.publish("atthana/shout", msg);
digitalWrite(LED, LOW); // LED Buildin == ON
} else {
digitalWrite(LED, HIGH); // LED Buildin == OFF
}

}
ใช้ mqtt in สำหรับเป็นตัว subscribe จาก nodeMCU ของเรานะคับ แน่นอนว่าจะต้องเซตค่าให้ตรงกันด้วย
เมื่อมีการกด swich ก้อจะมีค่าเข้ามาแสดงใน debug node ที่เราเชื่อมไว้

อาจจะยังงงๆเพราะอธิบายด้วยรูปภาพอย่างเดียวนะคับ เด๋วทำการทดลองเพิ่มจะมาเขียนต่อนะคับ
