Thingsquare 6LoWPAN MSP430 Webpage Test Client

I am trying to go through the Thingsquare 6LoWPAN MSP430 setup from the TI Wiki: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Thingsquare_6LoWPAN_MSP430

The description is very clear and everything works up to the section called Running Online Test Client.

WebPage Test Client

  1. Use Browser and browse to http://mqtt-io-old.herokuapp.com/.
  2. Input Broker TCP/IP address: 85.119.83.194, port: 1883 and client identifier: Any value
  3. Subscribe to 3 topics for each node as below.
  Topic: ti/iot/device/xxxxx, using QoS 0
  Topic: ti/iot/device/xxxxx/state, using QoS 0
  Topic: ti/iot/device/xxxxx/led, using QoS 0

I enter the Broker TCP/IP address, port and client identifier and push "Connect" but it stays disconnected. I cannot go any further with the setup. Please help.

    Hi,

    I can see two reasons this is not working. The demo tries to connect to a sandbox MQTT broker at test.mosquitto.org (85.119.83.194). Either;

    1) the client (in this case the web based version) is not able to connect, try other MQTT clients there are many out there, if you want an online one, try this http://m2m.demos.ibm.com/utilities.html There are more to find here: mqtt.org

    2) The broker is down, you can modifiy the code to use another MQTT broker by changing the line that look something like this

    #define HOST "test.mosquitto.org"//"85.119.83.194"

    try e.g. to use iot.eclispe.org (or its IP address)

    Hi, 

    I have met with the same case,  It did not work with browser. But I  changed to use the IA92 WBI Broker(a java program) developped by IBM on linux, and it can get or publish the value. You may have a try.
