Re: Thingy-52-to-nrF52xx demo...

Hi,

I was looking at the Thingy-52-to-nrf52xx demo. I want to capture raw motion data no a DK and save it for further processing. Are there any options (I guess one is nRF91 kit that I don't have.

Regards,

Hello Rasit,

 

Can you please point to where you found this demo, Thingy-52-to-nrf52xx?

 

If you create a central/client that connects to the Thingy, and enable notification on the motion service, you should be able to get the values.

Please check out the BLE central tutorial, if you are not familiar with centrals. I know that the tutorial in itself is quite old (SDK10), but the theory is the same. You can use a later SDK, such as SDK15, and possibly the ble_app_uart_c or ble_app_hrs_c example as a starting point. 

 

I am not sure what you are thinking of with nRF91?

 

Best regards,

Hi Edvin,

Here is the demo I am talking about:

github.com/.../Thingy-52-to-nRF52xx

I originally posted a reply on one of the questions n the forum, but I cannot find it. One Nordic employee(?) asked me to create a new ticket and I did. He mentioned that the app allows one to collect data (it is for environmental data) from thingy and push it to the cloud using  nrF91.

And yes, I looked around and read the tutorials recently.

Ok, I see. I have the other post that you are talking about here.

 

So did you get the info from the Thingy over to the nRF52840 DK via BLE?

 

To get the data to the cloud you have a couple of options. Either, you can use the nRF91 kit, or you can look into the iot part of the SDK (SDK\examples\iot).

 

Another option is to use the SDK for Thread and Zigbee. Download here, documentation here.

Thread and Zigbee requires the nRF52840 (the nRF52832's radio does not support 802.15.4). In these cloud solutions you would still need a border router. Typically, in the examples, you can use a Raspberry Pi.

 

The last option, that I can think of, is to use a phone as a gateway. You can do this using BLE and cellular data in an app. The disadvantage is that the phone has to be present for the data to be pushed to the cloud.

 

Best regards,
