The ESP32 and the product line variants often run Bluetooth alongside Wi-Fi. This post shows how you can use the Bluetooth capabilities of an Espressif chip to talk back to the internet when a Wi-Fi signal isn't the right fit for your application.
Golioth's Bluetooth-to-Cloud is now working on the Renesas (Dialog) DA14695, bringing our total vendor count up to 4. This post and video show the device talking to an external sensor and transmitting that data through a standard gateway back to the Golioth cloud, enabling it with the same capabilities as an IP based device on Golioth.
Golioth will join Marcus Engineering in a webinar on July 16th to discuss how newer regulations (CRA, Cyber Mark, PSTI) impact medical devices, and how almost all software-based devices need to be thinking about these regulations in the coming years.
Bluetooth HCI enables any chipset to act as a peripheral to a processor running a Bluetooth stack. We pair the ESP32-C3 HCI with a processor running Zephyr to turn Golioth's development platform--the Aludel Elixir--into a Bluetooth gateway.
Here's how easy it is to add a Bluetooth device to the cloud. In just a few minutes, we built a BLE-GATT example for the Arduino Nicla Sense ME board and had it sending data to the cloud.
Golioth makes it easy to connect Bluetooth devices to the cloud. Load provided binaries to create a Bluetooth gateway, then use reference Zephyr code to connect BLE devices from your fleet to the Internet. Here we show how to add an STMicroelectronics dev board as a leaf node in your fleet.
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.
