Chris is the Head of Developer Relations and Hardware at Golioth. Focusing on hardware and developer relations at that software company means that he is trying to be in the shoes of a hardware or firmware developer using Golioth every day. He does that by building hardware and reference designs that Golioth customers can use to bootstrap their own designs.
This post and video demonstrate taking a photo with a low power camera and cellular-based microcontroller and transmitting to the cloud for processing. Rick Jen from the Microsoft Azure team shows how to accept those images and work with the Azure AI OCR service to extract useful text and store it in a database.
Sign up for the AirTag Clone webinar series to watch Golioth build out board definition files for the Orleon board, a Bluetooth sensor platform/playground. The upcoming session on May 23rd will walk through setting up all required build files.
We implemented Golioth's Bluetooth-to-Cloud connectivity on a battery pack on a commercial power drill. We not only monitored power usage of the drill, we also looked up the location of the most recent gateway we connected through and attached that to the drill's device record.
Want to see everything Golioth can do? In this post, we highlight all major parts of the Golioth console and how an IoT device can deliver a range of services between Cloud and Device.
Golioth's Bluetooth-to-Cloud is in private access currently, but this post lets you peer behind the curtain to see how it works on some development boards.
Have you ever wanted to build your own Apple AirTag? Join us for a free webinar series (starting April 11) where we walk through how to design and prototype a small, Bluetooth-enabled sensor device using Zephyr RTOS, the nRF52840, and Golioth's new Bluetooth-to-Cloud capabilities.
Spring is a time of renewal, growth, and fresh starts—and your IoT projects deserve some spring cleaning, too! Dust off those ideas sitting idle, sharpen your embedded development toolkit, and join us for a free Zephyr RTOS Training on April 30th, 2025.
