Send collected data from Thingy52 to raspberry pi

[dianacheon]

Hello, 

I am thinking of using Thingy52 for my project.  Before I order Thingy52, I would like to make sure if it will workout for my project. 

(1) I wonder if data collected by Thingy52 could be sent to RPi 3 B+ to trigger the sensors connected to the RPi.

Thingy52-- (sending collected data) --> RPi 3 B+ --->  trigger stepper motor/LED to react based on the data

(2) If it is possible, I wonder what format of data will be sent to RPi and how I could process the data to trigger moving stepper motors or LEDs. 

Thank you in advance!

1)We have a few Nordic Thingy:52 & Raspberry Pi demos here, which could be a useful starting point. This video could also be useful.This should definitely be possible to do.

2) You would send BLE packets between the Thingy:52 & the Raspberry Pi. Take a look at the video for more info.

Thank you so much!  I wonder if IFTTT with Nordic Thingy could trigger servo motors

That may be the case. I know it is possible to use IFTTT with the Thingy itself. This should work with Raspberry Pi too.
