Mqtt-Launcher Blinkstick.md

Simple mqtt-launcher setup.

install python and paho-mqtt (pip install paho-mqtt) in your cygwin environment. dowload the blinkstick debug client and unzip it in your desired directory (/usr/local/bin in the example)

the topic structure in the example is this:

blinkstick/serialn/pixelindex

where serialn is the serial number of your blinkstick device.

you can find your blinkstick serial number with the command:

blinkstick --info

if you need to address different blinksticks you need to add '-d', 'serialn' (specifying the serial number of your device) to the commands provided e.g.:

None : [ '/usr/local/bin/blinkstick.exe', '--index', '0', '-d', 'serialn', '--set-color', '@!@' ]
