+ * KiteLib ESP8266 MQTT Publish Example
+ * 
+ * This example publishes MQTT messages using ESP8266 WiFi module.
+ * 
+ * The messages are published to https://shiftr.io/try. You can use this namespace
+ * for testing purposes, but remember that it is publicly accessible!
+ * 
+ * IMPORTANT: Before upolading this example, make sure that the ESP8266 module is running
+ * AT firmware (can be found in the /extras folder of the library)!
