Make a controller for the robot that converts human instructions to MQTT commands that the robot can understand. For now make this in software.

We decided to use a phone or tablet app rather than a new piece of hardware to control robot movement via generation of mqtt commands.

current version of MQTT is 5.x . We use the older 3.1.1, which not all MQTT consoles support.

Browser based support: MQTTX: web support is MQTT version 5.0 only?

Desktop: MQTTX: 3.11. & 5.0, MacOS, Linux, Windows, open source MQTT Explorer: 3.1.1 & 5.0, Windows, macOS, Linus

Mobile: EasyMQTT: 3.1.1 & 5.0, iPhone, iPad, macOS MyMQTT for Android: 3.1.1 & 5.0

I've downloaded this last app onto my phone. It doesn't support scripts, but does have a basic publish command.
