Using a mqtt server with websockets and a website with the Eclipse Paho JavaScript Client
Above video: Joystick sends movement through the internet to my mqtt server, laptop is fetching a webpage from one of my webservers.
A piece of javascript connects via websockets to the mqtt server and realtime changes the displayed image.
I intend to display maps and views into a maze you can walk through. like: (shamelessly stolen image from the internet)
I already have written another piece of code which generates a maze, and tells you using samples which way to go.
