Streaming thingy52 motion data to linux box

[prgoodwin]

Hey helpful people!


I am trying to get started with the Thingy52 development, but I'm having a hard time getting started since I am not making a mobile app.  I have it connected to my iphone without issue, and I can also connect it to the developer.nordicsemi.com/thingy/52/ web interface.  However, my end goal is to get the information into some streaming analytics software on a linux box (SAS's ESP engine).  

The box has bluetooth built in on it, and I also have access to websockets via software.  I tried grabbing the bluetooth beacon, but that doesn't seem to have the information I need in it.  How do I get the information from the thingy to my computer with minimal latency?  Is there an example project somewhere that lays out this information?

Thanks.

Hi,

I understand. Have you checked out these examples? They contain the process for setting up a central BLE node on a computer(using built-in bluetooth device). The raspberry pi example is probably of particular interest for your application. This direct approach will have the lowest latency.
If you want, you could also stream the data to a database or web server - this example demonstrates how to stream the data to a Google Firebase server.

Is this what you were looking for?

Best regards,
Karl
