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.
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.
How do you ensure you achieve the lowest possible power with your Cellular IoT Devices? We held a webinar on January 18th, 2023 where we tackled this question.
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.
Golioth ambassador Luis Ubieda explains how to debounce buttons in Zephyr and the tradeoffs between different hardware and software debounce methodology.
