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.
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.
The Golioth team will team up with Jared Wolff of CircuitDojo to talk about reducing power in cellular based designs connecting to the Cloud. Use the form on this post to take part in the webinar.
