Modify Asset Tracker v2 without AWS (NCS v1.5.0)

[patricab]

Hi.

Is it possible to modify the Asset Tracker v2 example to work without AWS entirely in NCS v.1.5.0? or is it a lost cause?

Was thinking about combining UDP samples for communication with a private server.

Have tried turning off some of the AWS settings in prj.conf, but I only end up with build errors.

Thank you in advance ;)

The purpose of the asset tracker is to show communication towards nrfcloud. If you need to use another protocol towards another server, especially if udp based, I do not think this is the easiest path to obtain that goal. What is the end goal here, ie. which server or service are you going to communicate with?

 

Basic UDP connection can be setup with only a few lines of socket based code, like shown in this example:

Kind regards,

Thank you for the reply

My bad. Was planning on setting up a connection to a private server using CoAP. I wanted to add this a module in the Asset Tracker v2 example, since I need a lot of the functionality that the example uses for my own project.

But I also need to disable the AWS functionality, since I won't be needing AWS as a cloud communication service.
