Can we upload the real time sensor data coming from nrf logger app and we have to automatically upload to cloud ?

[BUGULU VEERA GOUTHAM]

Hello

I'm a beginner. I am using NRF52 series and coding in segger embedded studio. I have modified the ble_uart example and added some extra code so that I get the sensors data in nrf connect app. Is there any way we can automatically push/upload the real time data to the cloud from nrf logger app or any function in code which needs to be added so that this can be done?

Hi,

We don't have anything in the mobile application that directly ports the data it receives to nRF cloud, or any other cloud solution. 

There are other ways to get the data to a cloud, but you need a BLE gateway, you can connect to a computer, RPi  or a phone and read the log, extract the data you want and send the data to whatever cloud solution you want. Bout you would need to make your own application. 

You can use a phone as a gateway and use our cloud solution, Nordic semiconductor Gateway/nRF Cloud Gateway app. You can find the source code to the app here: GitHub - nRFCloud/gateway-cordova: Cordova-based gateway for nRF Cloud

Hi,   

thanks for your answer Jonathan, we have downloaded the application i.e nRF cloud gateway in the android phone, the cloud is connected to the gateway and the mobile phone is acting as the gateway but it is unable to scan the BLE board device. what may be the problem? And also how to use the NRF cloud demo application to test the cloud service? Do we have to program the board by adding any function in the cloud to use this cloud service?

Hi, 

Sorry for the late response. I take this case because Jonathan is out of the office now.

Please ensure that the nRF Cloud Gateway phone app is running in Background mode. There is a checkbox for this on the Account page of the app (bottom link). Ensure that the phone is on and the app is running in the foreground when the scan occurs. Can it see any Bluetooth devices at all, like a speaker or headphones?
