nRF9160: LTE Sensor Gateway

[Marshed]

I am trying to use the LTE Sensor Gateway app to send Running Speed and Cadence Service Sample Application data loaded on a nRF52832. I have managed to get this two device connected (nRF9160 and nRF52832) and I can see the data at nRF9160.

1. How do I forward this data to the cloud? 

2. How do I change the cloud UI, as it is now the cloud UI appears as if it is accepting GPS data.

Hi,

 

If you get the data to the nRF9160, you can send it up to nrfcloud via MQTT, but; it will not be parsed properly on the nrfcloud side.

The cloud frontend, ie: nrfcloud.com, is setup to expect the data format from asset_tracker (and thingy data). Getting it to actively parse RSCS will require backend work. This is something that you do not have access to do, unless you setup your own cloud frontend/backend and add your own parsers there.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

thank you, but how come if i use nrf connect android app the RSCS data can be seen on the cloud?

I do not understand. Could you explain more in detail what you're doing? nRF connect for android will not forward any data to the cloud. The application that you programmed onto the nRF9160-DK can potentially do this (depending on what you modified), but the cloud frontend itself is not able to parse the RSCS data other than providing you with the raw data.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

I have RSCS on nRF52832. To upload the data to the cloud, I first installed nRF Cloud Gateway app on my android phone. This does connect with the bluetooth device and forward the data to the cloud. 

Currently i am trying to do the same but using the nRF9160 as a gateway instead of the nRF Cloud Gateway app. So far I have managed to get the data from the bluetooth device to the nRF9160, however i haven't been able to upload it to the cloud. in addition the interface at the cloud has changed to this 

My question is how to get appropriate interface? and how to get the data to the cloud using nRF9160. 

I hope you can assist

Hi,

 

Thanks for providing this level of details.

Yes, it is true that with the nRF Cloud gateway app, you can get certain BLE services up in the cloud, however; it is the application itself on the phone that alters the data before sending it to nrfcloud.com. Unfortunately, parsing RSCS over LTE, as done on the bluetooth side, is not possible in nrfcloud.

 

Kind regards,
