Here’s how to control the nRF9160 cellular modem, and what to do about your connection to Golioth when the modem is turned off. When building cellular IoT devices, the modem is often the most costly component in terms of power budget. Connecting to an LTE network also takes time. In both cases, manual control of the LTE connection means you make all the decision on when and how the radio is used.
Golioth includes remote logging as a core feature. However, for devices operating on a cellular network, you don’t want to use bandwidth for logging messages unless they are really needed. This post discusses how to use Golioth and Zephyr RTOS to set device logging levels remotely.
This IoT Power monitor is the newest reference design from Golioth. Quickly deploy a fleet of devices for monitoring electrical equipment to increase efficiency and monitor machine outages.
You can use VScode when working with Golioth’s ESP-IDF SDK. This guide walks through the process of setting up the ESP-IDF extension for VScode, then shows how to build, flash, and run the golioth-basics example application.
While Golioth makes OTA firmware updates easy via our web console, the same features are also available using the REST API. Here’s how to access those features using Python as an example.
These internet-connected ePaper devices are on the desk of every Golioth employee. Now we can upload memes to them all.
This experiment combines Golioth with Arduino and PlatformIO. The project builds on ESP-IDF, including Arduino as a component. It’s not meant for production devices, but may be useful for those migrating from Arduino to ESP-IDF.
When the chips were down (or more accurately: out of stock), Mike took a Golioth Reference Design and used it to control the heat in his house and extend the capabilities of his HVAC system.
The Internet of Things (IoT) can make existing infrastructure more useful and easier to operate, with the added benefit that you don’t need to be on-site to make changes. This is the case with Golioth’s latest reference design: a greenhouse controller that adjusts ventilation and grow lighting based on sensor readings. It also provides manual […]
Adding Golioth device management to your existing ESP-IDF project is easy. In this post we show how to add Golioth as a submodule and configure the ESP-IDF build to enable the API calls. This brings OTA firmware updates, data management, and device control to any ESP32 IoT device.
