Demo Software for Thingy91

I search for an LTE modem for a small device. (between 10000 or 100000 parts per year)

So I need something to play with it to learn what is possible. (for example battery live with my measurement hardware)

My idea is to buy a Thingy91.

Is there somewhere an easy demoprogram that I can modify and compile so it reads data for example from I2C oder USART and send to with LTE-M or NB to my computer or my server?

  • Okay, I found the nordic page in internet that explain that the device firmware is deleted when I update the modem firmware. BTW: Your link above to the explanation is dead. So I had search in internet for it.

    I wrote now some firmware inside and the red led is blinking.

    Do I need to program more than one file? It is hard to understand what happens or not.
