WEEK 2: RUNNING THE WI-FI PROGRAM ON CC3200

I'm testing the CC3200 board with the IoT program which sends the data to the cloud via the server created. At first, i thought there's something wrong with the MQTT user interface because the symbols all have been zoomed in. So i asked for Dr. Zulkhairi and Dr. Masum's help to complete the task. It turns out the MQTT still can be used despite of the zoomed user interface.

Zoomed MQTT lens user interface

The normal MQTT user interface should look just like the picture below:

Next, I need to connect to the server environment using the Node-Red interface. I had to use my own hotspot because it can't work using the bmi's wifi.

Change the wifi variable according to the wifi used to run the program

Despite of the zoomed user interface, i able to successfully complete the task with my supervisors help. The data from the sensors which i tried to display the temperature of the surroundings measured by the built-in temperature sensor from the cloud.
