Data Logging Zero to Hero with CircuitPython and MQTT #CircuitPython #MQTT @robmarkcole @HacksterIO

Robin Cole on Hackster.io documents a using data logging – going from zero to hero with CircuitPython and MQTT.  Using Python and open source software, it shows how to publish data from a sensor over MQTT, persist the data, and visualise it in real-time.

The purpose is to demonstrate a beginner friendly workflow that is not too complicated using CircuitPython, and demonstrates a solution that has real world applications – logging sensor data over a network, storing it in a database and displaying the data on a dashboard is what many IoT companies are doing (note, we are skipping security which is what you pay the companies for, as well as scale).

The project shows a number of Adafruit products listed at right.

The Python code required to read the sensor data and print it to the console is below:

See the whole project in the Hackster.io post.
