Retrieve Data displayed on OLED Display
In this project, you will display data from Antares IoT Platform on OLED using ESP8266 module. In this Antares Shield Workshop, there are temperature, humidity (DHT11), relay, LED, and push button sensors. You will send messages in the form of data displayed on the OLED display. The process of sending this data uses MQTTX Software to send data to the Antares IoT Platform.

Prerequisites

OLED display library. This documentation uses Adafruit_SSD1306 by Adafruit version 2.5.7.
MQTTX Software
Follow These Steps
1. Launch the Arduino IDE application
2. Opening Sample Programme
Below is the programme code of the RETRIEVE_DATA_OLED example.
#include <AntaresESPMQTT.h> // Import the AntaresESPMQTT library for communication with Antares
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h> // Import the Adafruit_SSD1306 library for controlling the OLED display
#define ACCESSKEY "your-access-key" // Replace with your Antares account access key
#define WIFISSID "your-wifi-ssid" // Replace with your Wi-Fi SSID
#define PASSWORD "your-wifi-password" // Replace with your Wi-Fi password
#define projectName "your-project-name" // Antares project name
#define deviceName "your-project-name" // Name of the device
AntaresESPMQTT antares(ACCESSKEY); // Initialize the AntaresESPMQTT object with the access key
#define SCREEN_WIDTH 128 // OLED display width
#define SCREEN_HEIGHT 64 // OLED display height
#define OLED_RESET -1 // OLED display reset pin
String testData; // Store received mqtt data
String lastData = ""; // Store last received mqtt data
Adafruit_SSD1306 display(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, &Wire, OLED_RESET); // Initialize the display object
void callback(char topic[], byte payload[], unsigned int length) {
antares.get(topic, payload, length);
Serial.println("New Message!");
Serial.println("Topic: " + antares.getTopic());
Serial.println("Payload: " + antares.getPayload());
testData = antares.getString("Test");
Serial.println("Received: " + testData);
if (testData != "null") {
if (lastData != testData) {
lastData = testData;
display.clearDisplay();
display.setTextSize(1);
display.setTextColor(SSD1306_WHITE);
display.setCursor(0, 0);
display.println("Received: " + testData);
display.display();
}
}
}
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200); // Start serial communication at baud rate 115200
antares.setDebug(true); // Enable debug mode for Antares
antares.wifiConnection(WIFISSID, PASSWORD); // Connect to Wi-Fi using SSID and password
antares.setMqttServer(); // Set up the Antares MQTT server
antares.setCallback(callback); // Set the callback function for MQTT messages
if (!display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C)) { // Initialize the OLED display
Serial.println(F("SSD1306 allocation failed")); // Display a message if OLED initialization fails
for (;;)
; // Halt the program
}
display.clearDisplay(); // Clear the OLED display
display.setTextSize(1); // Set text size
display.setTextColor(SSD1306_WHITE); // Set text color
display.setCursor(0, 0); // Set text cursor position
display.println("Waiting for data..."); // Display initial message
display.display(); // Show the message on the display
}
void loop() {
antares.checkMqttConnection(); // Check MQTT connection to Antares
}
3. Set WiFi Credential and Antares Credential in Program Code
Change the HTTP Protocol parameters in the following variables *ACCESSKEY, *WIFISSID, *PASSWORD, *projectName, and *deviceName. Adjust to the parameters in the Antares console.
#define ACCESSKEY "your-access-key" // Replace with your Antares account access key
#define WIFISSID "your-wifi-ssid" // Replace with your Wi-Fi SSID
#define PASSWORD "your-wifi-password" // Replace with your Wi-Fi password
#define projectName "your-project-name" // Antares project name
#define deviceName "your-project-name" // Name of the device




4. Compile and Upload Program
Connect the ESP8266 WEMOS D1R2 with your computer and make sure the Communication Port is read.

Set up the ESP8266 WEMOS D1R2 board by clicking Tools > Board > esp8266 in the Arduino IDE, then make sure the one used is LOLIN (WEMOS) D1 R2 & mini. Select the port according to the communication port that is read (in this case COM4). The result will look like the following picture.

After all the setup is complete, upload the programme by pressing the arrow icon as shown below. Wait for the compile and upload process to finish.

If the programme upload is successful, it will look like the following image.

After uploading the programme, you can view the serial monitor to debug the programme. The serial monitor icon is shown in the following image.

Set the serial baud rate to 115200 and select BothNL & CR. The result will look like the following image.
Make sure the serial baud rate matches the value defined in the programme code. If the serial baud rate is not the same between the programme code and the serial monitor, the ASCII characters will not be read properly.

5. Setup MQTTX Software
Open the MQTTX App, then select New Connection

In order to configure MQTTX with Antares broker, adjust the Name, Host and Port as shown below, then click Connect.

If it is connected, there is a notification as shown below

To publish to the Antares server, enter Topic and Payload in the fields in MQTTX.

Topic
/oneM2M/req/your-access-key/antares-cse/json
Payload
{
"m2m:rqp": {
"fr": "your-access-key",
"to": "/antares-cse/antares-id/nama-aplikasi-anda/nama-device-anda",
"op": 1,
"rqi": 123456,
"pc": {
"m2m:cin": {
"cnf": "message",
"con": "{\"your-first-data\":\"the-integer-value\",\"your-second-data\":\"the-string-data\"}"
}
},
"ty": 4
}
}
In the MQTTX software, enter the Topic and Payload that you want to use. Then click Publish to send the message from MQTTX to the Antares server.

6. Sending MQTTX Messages to Antares Server
After the MQTTX software setup is complete, it's time to send the PUBLISH command. The "Test" field is filled with the string "Hello Antares" as the message that will be sent via the MQTT protocol to the Antares server.
{
"m2m:rqp": {
"fr": "your-access-key",
"to": "/antares-cse/antares-id/nama-aplikasi-anda/nama-device-anda",
"op": 1,
"rqi": 123456,
"pc": {
"m2m:cin": {
"cnf": "message",
"con": "{\"Test\":\"Hallo Antares\"}"
}
},
"ty": 4
}
}
If you have finished filling in the "Test" field, then press the Publish button on the MQTTX software, as shown below.

If it has been published, the MQTTX page will have a message like the following.

7. Check Data in Antares
After uploading the programme successfully, then open the device antares page and see if the data has been successfully sent.


8. Output program
Get data from the Antares IoT Platform and display it on the OLED display after connecting to Wi-Fi is shown in the figure below:
