Wouter, make sure you quit minicom before trying to upload files with luatool, they
can't coexist on the same com.

#7639 Just in case it helps anyone else - the standard port for MQTT is 1883 - see http://mqtt.org/faq

Also I had to remove the / at the start of the topic to get it working.

EDIT - I now realise you don't have to remove the / - it's just part of the topic name if you use it.

So the send commands become:
Code: Select allmqtt:connect(1883,my.ip.address.or.domain.name.com)
mqtt:send("topic","Hello from ESP8266.com example!",0,0, function(conn) print("sent") end)

#7644 I found it needed time between the commands for it to work with test.mosquitto.org - ie running all the sample lines in one batch doesn't work, but running them one at a time subscribed to the topic successfully.
