| -- **src** - The library source code. |
8 |
| - - **CayenneUtils** - Common code for creating and parsing Cayenne topics and payloads. This code can be used with any MQTT client. |
9 |
| - - **CayenneMQTTClient** - Platform independent Cayenne C++ library using the Paho MQTT C++ library. To create platform specific versions of this library networking and timer code for the platform are required. |
10 |
| - - **MQTTCommon** - Common Paho MQTT C code used by both the C and C++ libraries. |
11 |
| - - **Platform** - Platform specific networking and timer code, as well as test and example applications. |

| 16 | +## Requirements |
| 17 | +### Hardware |
| 18 | +* An Arduino, ESP8266 or ESP32 module, e.g. the [Arduino Uno](https://store.arduino.cc/usa/arduino-uno-rev3), [Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2471) or [SparkFun ESP32 Thing](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13907). |
| 19 | +* A USB cable, or if using certain ESP devices, a USB to Serial FTDI cable. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +### Software |
| 22 | +* [Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software) for Windows, Linux or Mac OS. |
| 23 | +* [This library](https://github.com/myDevicesIoT/Cayenne-MQTT-Arduino/archive/master.zip). |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Getting Started |
| 26 | +### Environment Setup |
| 27 | +1. Download and install the [Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software). |
| 28 | +2. Install the **CayenneMQTT** library from **Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries**. |
| 29 | +3. If using an ESP module, install the Board Package. |
| 30 | + 1. For **ESP8266**: |
| 31 | + 1. Under **File -> Preferences** add `http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json` to the **Additional Boards Manager URLs** field. |
| 32 | + 2. Install the **esp8266** platform from **Tools -> Board -> Boards Manager**. |
| 33 | + 2. For **ESP32**, manually install the board package by following the instructions here: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/README.md#installation-instructions. |
| 34 | +4. Connect your device to your computer using the appropriate USB cable or USB to Serial FTDI cable. |
| 35 | +5. Select your Arduino board or ESP module and and the correct port from the **Tools** menu. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +### Cayenne Setup |
| 38 | +1. Create your Cayenne account at https://www.cayenne-mydevices.com. |
| 39 | +2. Add a new device using the **Add new...** page **MicroControllers** or **Bring Your Own Thing** options. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +### Building Examples |
| 42 | +1. Open an included example connection sketch from **File -> Examples -> CayenneMQTT -> Connections**. |
| 43 | +2. Modify the included sketch with the Cayenne authentication info you received when adding your device. |
| 44 | +3. If using an ESP module or WiFi shield modify the sketch with your network info. |
| 45 | +3. Compile and upload the sketch to your device. For ESP devices uploading may require setting the device into bootload mode. For the Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266 module this is done with the folowing steps: |
| 46 | + 1. Hold down the **GPIO0** button. |
| 47 | + 2. Click the **Reset** button. |
| 48 | + 3. Let go of the **GPIO0** button. |
| 49 | + 4. The red LED should light up, indicating the device is ready for uploading. |
| 50 | + 5. Upload your sketch. |
| 51 | +4. Check the Cayenne dashboard to ensure it is receiving sample data from your device. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +## Compatibility |
| 54 | +This library was tested with various Arduino boards including the Uno, Mega, Due, etc. as well as the Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266 breakout module and an Espressif ESP32 development board. It should also work with other standard ESP8266 and ESP32 modules that are compatible with the Arduino IDE. Boards with very constrained memory like the Arduino Leonardo or Micro may have issues fitting this library alongside other libraries. For those boards you might try using a manually specified IP as shown in the [ManualConnection example sketch](https://github.com/myDevicesIoT/Cayenne-MQTT-Arduino/blob/master/examples/Connections/ManualConnection/ManualConnection.ino) in order to save space. |

| 56 | +## Contributions |
| 57 | +* This library includes the [Eclipse Paho MQTT C/C++ client](https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.embedded-c). |
