How can I program the Thingy:91 to send Data every 10 Minutes?

[hyd]

Hello,

I am a student and new programmer and got the Thingy:91 for a project at Uni. I went through the getting Started guides and now I am at the point, where I downloaded VS Code and nRF Connect is on it. The Thingy:91 has the newest firmware and sends the data (temperature, location....) to the Cloud. How can I see the programm code and/or change something in it so the Thingy sends Data every 10 Minutes instead of 2 Minutes ? Can someone help me? PS: I am still a beginner, sorry. 

Is there any guide for that? 

Thanks!

Hello,

Before answering your question. Have you looked at our Developer Academy? This is an interactive online learning platform here to equip developers with the technical information and know-how to build wireless products using Nordic Semiconductor solutions. I would recommend starting with the Fundementals course, then you can move over to the Cellular IoT Fundamentals. 

. How can I see the programm code and/or change something in it so the Thingy sends Data every 10 Minutes instead of 2 Minutes ?

The Thingy:91 (v1.5.0 or lower) comes preloaded with the nRF9160: Asset Tracker firmware

The Asset Tracker v2 application is what you will need to look at. Have a look at the real time configurations 

Kind regards,

Hi thank you very much. I see that the Thingy:91 is in passive Mode by default. How can I change it to active mode? I didnt understand the Guides

Hello! From the documentation I referred to, beneath the table of real time configurations, it states:

You can alter the default values of the real-time configurations at compile time by setting the options listed in Default device configuration options. However, note that these are only the default values. If a different value set has been set through the cloud service, it takes precedence. The application also stores its configuration values to non-volatile memory.

Opening the Asset Tracker v2 in VS Code, you will need to configure the time i..e CONFIG_DATA_ACTIVE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS in the prj.conf of the Asset Tracker v2 project.

Note

CONFIG_DATA_DEVICE_MODE_ACTIVE. This configuration sets the device in active mode. Default mode for nRF91 Series devices. Battery consuming, sending data at a given interval.

CONFIG_DATA_DEVICE_MODE_PASSIVE. This configuration sets the device in passive mode. Default mode for the Thingy:91. Save battery, only send data when there is movement but every hour regardless of movement.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
