nRF9160 Getting accelerometer data from the cloud

[MikeDmy]

Hi,

I am using Thingy91 and I successfully connected it to the cloud, also able to pull all sensor readings with the curl command: curl https://api.nrfcloud.com/v1/messages -H "Authorization: Bearer X. 

All is great, but I`d like to be able to also get accelerometer data from the cloud in order to measure vibrations. At the moment I`m only able to see if the device is flipped which is not very useful. 

Can someone point me to resources or a similar thread regarding this issue or/and steps to take? I just started using the device couple of days ago.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

The Asset Tracker application is not sending actual acceleration data, only the flip state. In order for you to read the actual acceleration data you will need to configure the Asset Tracker application to publish this data.

More information about the nRF Connect SDK can be found here. 

Kind regards,
Øyvind

So, the only way to visualize acceleration data is to configure Asset Tracker v2 and then work with AWS or Azure clouds?

Yes, that is correct.
