AIO-Micropython

This library is a class that lets microprocessors that use Micropython (and have a wifi chip) communicate with Adafruit IO

This library is dependant on the umqtt.simple library

How to use (Look at AIO_Micropython_Test.py for an example)

1. Import the class
2. Import MQTTClient from umqtt.simple
3. Make an instance object formatted like so:

   *instance object*=AIO_ESP(
   	*your wifi name*, # string
   	*your wifi password*, # string
   	*your aio username*, # string
   	*your aio key*, # string
   	*client id name* # string, this one is optional, and is set to ESP32 by default
   )
   

Functions

• connect_to_internet - Connects the microprocessor to your wifi (must either be dual band or be 2.4GHz from what I've tested) and to your aio account. It has no parameters.
• subscribe_feed - Subscribes to the feed inputted, which makes read_feed read it.
  It has 1 parameter, the feed name which is a string, so to subscribe to the feed temp it would be written as *instance object*.subscribe_feed("temp").
• register_callback - Connects a feed to a function, so that whenever that feed is updated, the function is called (must have only 1 parameter for the message)
  It has 2 parameters, the feed name, which is a string, and the function that you wanted to connect to it, so if you wanted to set temp_callback to be the callback function for temp, it would be written as *instance object*.register_callback("temp",temp_callback.
• write_feed - Writes a certain value onto a feed.
  It has 2 parameters, the feed name which is a string, and the message, which can be any data type that can be converter into a string, so if you wanted the feed temp to equal to 5, then it would be written as *instance_object*.write_feed("temp",5).
• read_feed() - Creates a second thread that constantly checks for any new values on the subscribed feeds (this is done using the _thread library which is included in Micropython, learn more about it on this video literally nothing is said about it on the Micropython wiki).
  It has no parameters.
