-# Python MQTT client for MQTT exercise
-- sends random RGB LED color commands
-- sends random long garbage packets
-- logs temperature values sent by MCU
-
-## Setup
-- Configure MQTT credentials in `../../intro/mqtt/exercise` according to instructions provided in the workshop
-- set up a Python environment:
-
-```shell
-# setup (once):
-$ python3 -m venv ve
-$ source ./ve/bin/activate
-$ pip3 install paho-mqtt toml
-
-# setup (every time you open a new shell):
-$ source ./ve/bin/activate
-```
-
-# Run
-```shell
-$ ./mqtt.py
-```
