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

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,

[quote user=""]I am a student and new programmer and got the Thingy:91 for a project at Uni.[/quote]

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.

[quote user=""]. 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 ?[/quote]

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,

Øyvind
