qrMqtt

QR-Code scanned at door for remote MQTT-client

After installing an OS on your SD card, install the necessary packages

1. OpenCV dev library [sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev]

2. The mqtt application [sudo apt-get install mosquitto]

3. The mosquitto client library [sudo apt-get install mosquitto-clients]

4. Mosquitto dev library [sudo apt-get install libmosquitto-dev libmosquittopp-dev

5. Zbar dev library [sudo apt-get install libzbar0 libzbar-dev]

Configuration

In the main.cpp file, update the provided configuration parameters: qr2sp = new qrMqtt("qr2sp", "pcktatDoor", "192.168.178.100", 1883);

• pcktatDoor -> The MQTT topic name where you want your application to publish the QR scan results to
• 192.168.178.100 -> The hostname or IP address of the MQTT broker
• 1883 -> The port of the MQTT broker

Compile & run

After the steps above, you can compile the code by running the command make in the root of the downloaded code. When this step is completed, you can run the application by executing the command ./qrMqtt

Using the piCamera

If you are using the piCamera instead of a USB webcam, you should run this command to let OpenCV use the piCam: sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2
