Thank you Kudza for this very well-explained video, I am learning about IIoT and how to implement and your videos have been very helpful

[@manivannan3830]

Very useful video. I have been searching for tutorial. Now i found right one. Please upload more such videos for Pi Pico.

[@industry40tvonline]

I'm glad you found the video useful, Manivannan. Absolutely, stay tuned for more videos like this.

[@DavidBeukes]

Hi Kudzai, I'm just getting back into coding after using ESPHome for a long time. This video answered all of my questions. If I can connect to WiFi, and publish and receive MQTT, then I can make pretty much anything after that point. Thank you for showing the way so clearly.

[@industry40tvonline]

Spot on, David. It’s great to have you back into coding and thank you so much for the feedback.

[@venezuelainvestigators141]

Excellent video!

[@dang48]

Thank you for the explanation. I found this video very useful and expect to be using the info from this for future projects.

[@industry40tvonline]

Thank you for the feedback,Dan.

[@hostasgrasses]

Thank you for such a great explanation for a subject I knew nothing about until now. I am just getting into the Pico and you have taught a great tool to have in my toolbox as I learn! Gregory

[@industry40tvonline]

Thank you so much for your feedback, Gregory. I‘m glad the video was helpful.

[@CarlosRussoFonseca]

Excellent video! Thank you.

Love your work Kudzai!

[@industry40tvonline]

Thank you very much for your feedback. I appreciate it.

[@rd-tk6js]

Well explained, thanks !

[@pedroafonso2429]

Hello Kudzai. I am having trouble when using the command upip.install("micropython-umqtt.robust"). It is installing on a .frozen/ folder instead of /lib/. Could you help me please, I would be very thankful.

[@torque6389]

Wonderful job! Thank you so much for the great instructions!

[@industry40tvonline]

Thank you, torque.

[@abiudmwangi6835]

Excellent content!

[@industry40tvonline]

Thank you, Abiud. Glad you found the content useful.

[@mmshilleh]

This video is very useful. Is there a reason you did not use a regular node backend as opposed to the MQTT broker?

[@mmuru01]

This is a good project . Good content

[@industry40tvonline]

Thank you Mugunthan. Glad you like it.

[@shemanto_sharkar]

How can I sending data to Microsoft Azure IoT Hub using an ESP32 and Micropython? will the code for Raspberry pi will work on ESP32?

[@TOMTOM-nh3nl]

Thank You

[@Mari_Selalu_Berbuat_Kebaikan]

Let's always do good 🙏

[@traisenstp]

Nice, Looks like no one answers, but maybe someone will answer.. can we use with the serverless free version of hive mq? or have to have a server. (Will ask in Stack Exchange or Stack Overflow if no answer) Answer can be a simple no or yes or yes, but some changes you much research. Thanks

[@traisenstp]

Never mind video covers well.

[@AlvaroSerna-on6sv]

When I apply the upip.install("micropython-umqtt.robust") command it is installed in a new created folder called ./frozen in stead of installing in lib folder and I can not use the library. How can I fix this?

[@westcoastmilt]

I get stuck on two issues. 1) Thonny can only work in Run as Administrator when using Manage Packages, otherwise get the error "Could not find the package info from PyPI. Error code: ". 2) When Thonny is run as "Run as Administrator" I get the following error when trying Manage Packages: "/micropython-upip-1.2.6.tar.gz does not appear to be a Python project: neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found. Process returned with code 1". Also, in Run as Administrator mode the Pico doesn't connect to the computer. I'm using Microsoft Windows 10 Home and Thonny 4.0.1. The video was useful in showing how to run commands on the shell tab.

[@industry40tvonline]

Hey Milton, thanks for your comment. I didn't have to run Thonny as Administrator and had no issues with connecting Pico to computer. I'd encourage you to try this on a different PC.

[@yavuzgokmen1588]

Excellent video Buddy, can you share code with us?

[@rafaelasilveira5140]

hey mate, where did you get the "client id" on the method MQTTClient

[@industry40tvonline]

Hey Rafaela, I made it up. The client_id can be anything that you choose, but it has to be unique within your MQTT network.

[@rafaelasilveira5140]

@@industry40tvonline thank you!
