Understanding MQTT: A Solution for Machine Communication

Understanding MQTT: A Solution for Machine Communication

Telemetry technology is a relatively old concept in the field of communication. As early as the last century, sensors had the capability to transmit signals over long distances, enabling scientists to monitor terminal machines and other activities remotely. Today, with the aid of computer processors, machines can receive data from sensors and other machines and … Read more

Detailed Implementation of MQTT Protocol Code

Detailed Implementation of MQTT Protocol Code

The previous two articles discussed the basic decomposition process of the MQTT protocol. This chapter mainly discusses the implementation of specific messages. Since the message handling specifications are quite similar, we will introduce the Connect and Publish messages, which are relatively complex in the MQTT protocol. Understanding the protocol analysis of these two messages will … Read more
