Started the MQTT Arduino Client, couldn't connect to shiftr.io for some reason, which is why I shifted to test.mosquitto.org . It kept giving me "error no -1", which when I look up, seems to be an incompatible MQTT protocol. I did my research which shiftr claimed they only support MQTT 3.1, while I couldn't find any information on Arduino Client. Therefore I switched to mosquitto and it works without me knowing why.
I plan on using a really interesting sensor: APDS 9960
It does SOMEWHAT gesture, by integrating 4 IR sensors. It would be able to tell if my hands move up or down, left and right. However, with some deeper customization, it would also sense more complexed gestures like zig zag or angle detections. I will look in to that If I have time.
So my idea is I want to build a device that measure the exercises I do on my hands! (Because I don't exercise my body!) This device will record and send a signal of "Up, down, left and right" when detect any motion, and upload that motion to my web client.
Right now waiting on the sensor to arrive.
