MQTT_SIMPLE WITH GPIO AND SENSOR

[Norad308]

Hello,

Got the MQTT_SIMPLE to work and the sensor samples from zephyr also, however, how can i mix the 2 to have the mqttsimple with some gpio and i2c sensor ? how will the overlay file be changed ?

PLEASE HELP

Thanks

Hello, 

In order to combine two, you will need to combine prj.conf of each sample and ensure that you include any needed header files and its function calls in main.c of e.g. mqtt_simple.

This means that, based on mqtt_simple combined with bme680, the prj.conf should look similar to:

# From sensor application
CONFIG_STDOUT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_I2C=y
CONFIG_SENSOR=y
CONFIG_BME680=y

# Needed for GPIO
CONFIG_GPIO=y

I recommend searching the Kconfig reference to ensure the CONFIG_x setting it correct.

And main.c of mqtt_simple will need to call whatever the sensor sample calls in its main.c. 

The board overlay file should look similar to the following, Make sure to use available pins on your board, and pay attention to shared resources

&i2c1 {
 compatible = "nordic,nrf-twim";
 status = "okay";
 sda-pin = <30>;
 scl-pin = <31>;
};

Kind regards,
