Mqtt+mqtt explorer

I use mqtt explorer . this I publish the topic nazneen/bin and subscribe the topic by esp32 . but problem is that I don't get any message to esp32 after subscribe the topic ..there is a code below

#ifdef ESP8266
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h> /* WiFi library for ESP8266 */
#else
#include <WiFi.h> /* WiFi library for ESP32 */
#endif
#include <Wire.h>
#include <PubSubClient.h>


#define wifi_ssid "yourSSID"
#define wifi_password "yourPASSWORD"
#define mqtt_server "test.mosquitto.org"

#define naz_topic "nazneen/bin"

WiFiClient espClient;
PubSubClient client(espClient);
void callback(char *topic, byte *payload, unsigned int length) {
  Serial.print("Message arrived in topic: ");
  Serial.println(topic);
  Serial.print("Message:");
  for (int i = 0; i < length; i++){
    Serial.print((char)payload[i]);
  }
  Serial.println();
  Serial.println("-----------------------");
}

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  // dht.begin();
  setup_wifi();
  client.setServer(mqtt_server, 1883);
  client.setCallback(callback);
}

void setup_wifi() {
  delay(10);
  // We start by connecting to a WiFi network
  Serial.println();
  Serial.print("Connecting to ");
  Serial.println(wifi_ssid);

  WiFi.begin(wifi_ssid, wifi_password);

  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }

  Serial.println("");
  Serial.println("WiFi connected");
  Serial.println("IP address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}

void reconnect() {
  // Loop until we're reconnected
  while (!client.connected()) {
    Serial.print("Attempting MQTT connection...");

    if (client.connect("ESP8266Client")) {
      Serial.println("connected");
    } else {
      Serial.print("failed, rc=");
      Serial.print(client.state());
      Serial.println(" try again in 5 seconds");
      delay(5000);
    }
  }
}


void loop() {

  if (!client.connected()) {
    reconnect();
  }
  client.loop();
  //  client.publish(naz_topic, "welcome", true);
client.subscribe(naz_topic);
}

any one can help?

What were you expecting? You've subscribed, so the ESP should pickup anything published, but there's no code to display anything. Similarly, you don't publish.

Try a simple example that just prints what is published. Subscribing over & over again every time loop is called should not be necessary.

MQTT requires a unique id and someone else is already using "ESP8266Client" so change the string in
client.connect("ESP8266Client")
to some random characters
client.connect("jgfkhjgjhmoihfpijpj")

That will give you a connection that doesn't keep getting disconnected and then reconnecting.

For test purposes try using the topic "/merakimv/Q2FV-VZ4B-BH3V/0" as that currently is receiving a steady stream of messages.

It would also make sense to move the
client.subscribe(naz_topic);
from the loop into the reconnect function.

What about the code in the callback function ?

thank you now I get the message
is that possible to publish binary data from Mqtt explorer and subscribe it by esp32 and update the firmware by this binary data

after some i try again but don't get the message
output

I don't know the answer, however a Google search for "esp32 mqtt ota" gives lots of results including links to libraries.

ok thanks ...
