MQTT client program not showing any results with Arduino

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

I modified the MQTT example present under MQTT library pubsubclient for Arduino.

My MQTT server address is 192.168.1.6 with port 8081.

To this MQTT server,another MQTT client in my mobile is able to connect.

But this is not working with Arduino.There is no error shown during compilation or during uploading.

Infact,I am not able to see the connection result messages such as "Connected" or "Not connected" which i given in Serial.println() in setup function.

I am resetting Arduino before uploading the program.Please let me know why this is not showing any output....

 

#include <SPI.h>

#include <Ethernet.h>

#include <PubSubClient.h>

// Update these with values suitable for your network.

byte mac[]    = {  0xDE, 0xED, 0xBA, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xED };

byte server[] = {192, 168, 1, 6 };

//byte ip[]     = { 172, 16, 0, 100 };

 

 

void callback(char* topic, byte* payload, unsigned int length) {

  // handle message arrived

}

EthernetClient ethClient;

PubSubClient client(server, 8081, callback, ethClient);

void setup()

{

  Ethernet.begin(mac);

  if (client.connect("*")) {

     Serial.begin(9600);

    Serial.println("Connected to MQTT Server");

    client.publish("outTopic","hello world");

   // client.subscribe("inTopic");

  }

  else

  {

   Serial.println("Could not connect to MQTT Server");

  }

}

void loop()

{

  //client.loop();

 

}

    Radhamani, it looks to me as though you have you Ethernet addresses muddled.  The address 192.168.1.6 is your PC address.  You have assigned address 20 to your Ethernet adapter but do you know for sure that address is not used by something else?

     

    I strongly recommend you try the Arduino examples for the Ethernet card in an unmodified form.  That way you can confirm your Ethernet is working and that you can get a connection.  I would also urge you to try the examples that obtain an IP address automatically.  Then you can modify the code to add the MQTT code.  I find that when developing code it is best to start with something that works then gradually build the code to achieve what you want to do.  If you hit a snag and something stops working you only have to look at your latest changes.  Once you have the Ethernet card working you can try the MQTT example code changing only the necessary addresses.

    Hi Bob,

      Sure...Thanks much..I am following as you have adviced...

    I tested with DHCPAddressPrinter sample.Still there is no results on Serial.println.

    By executing ipconfig in cmd.exe,I am not seeing 192.168.1.20 in the output.

    Complete result of ipconfig:

    Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:

    Are you using VMware? What is running in it? That can change things if you are using it for the connections.

    I am using VMWare for MessageSight which acts as MQTT server.

    But for this initial setup for Ethernet Shield,I have not even started the Appliance in VMWare.

    I am just running the below DHCPAddressPrinter sketch in Arduino example to setup EthernetShield with MAC and IP

     

     

    #include <SPI.h>

    #include <Ethernet.h>

     

     

    // Enter a MAC address for your controller below.

    // Newer Ethernet shields have a MAC address printed on a sticker on the shield

    byte mac[] = {

      0x00, 0xAA, 0xBB, 0xCC, 0xDE, 0x02

    };

     

     

    // Initialize the Ethernet client library

    // with the IP address and port of the server

    // that you want to connect to (port 80 is default for HTTP):

    EthernetClient client;

     

     

    void setup() {

      // Open serial communications and wait for port to open:

      Serial.begin(9600);

      // this check is only needed on the Leonardo:

      while (!Serial) {

        ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only

      }

     

     

      // start the Ethernet connection:

      if (Ethernet.begin(mac) == 0) {

        Serial.println("Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP");

        // no point in carrying on, so do nothing forevermore:

        for (;;)

          ;

      }

      // print your local IP address:

      Serial.print("My IP address: ");

      for (byte thisByte = 0; thisByte < 4; thisByte++) {

        // print the value of each byte of the IP address:

        Serial.print(Ethernet.localIP()[thisByte], DEC);

        Serial.print(".");

      }

      Serial.println();

    }

     

     

    void loop() {

     

     

    }

     

    After uploading the sketch to arduino,below is the output shown in console

     

    Sketch uses 13,614 bytes (42%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes.

    Global variables use 539 bytes (26%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1,509 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.

     

    And there is nothing shown in Serial monitor

    In my previous post,I have attached the image of Ethernetshield's some leds glowing after connecting to Router.

    My router is Binatone Wireless ADSL2+ Router.

    I checked arp -a,
