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.
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.
The SIMCOM SIM7080G is a Cat M1 / NB-IoT modem that focuses on low power applications. We tested out the modem using Zephyr's subsystem to connect to the Golioth Cloud.
There are a hundred ways to provision a device, and with this NFC-based hack day project there are now 101. Follow along as we us a Nordic nRF53 as a writable NFC tag that parses the NDEF message, locates PSK-ID and PSK, then stores those credentials to add the device to an IoT fleet.
If you're already using a J-Link programmer in your embedded development, you can use it to interface directly with the target device serial port over the J-Link USB connection. This is extremely handy, especially if your hardware design connects RX/TX pins to the programming header.
We continue to showcase seamless Thread support on Golioth. We used the ESP32-C6 development board from Espressif, demonstrating how we successfully connected it to Golioth over OpenThread using ESP-IDF with minimal changes to our Firmware SDK.
