New to IoT - want to build some MQTT clients, advice needed.
Posted: Sun Oct 11, 2015 11:10 amHey there!
i am new to internet of things. In the past I played around a bit with Arduino (some sensor- and LED things) and now i want to build some connected things.
I read a lot about MQTT protocol.. very nice thing!
What do you think is the best way to read out some sensors and control LEDs (WS2811 / WS2812 / PWM) over Wifi?
- NodeMCU: I like the "all in one" package. Also compatible to Arduino.
- Arduino + ESP8266: Really needed?
Is there a benefit on using Arduino over LUA? Memory, performance, more/better librarys for external hardware?
Thanks!
