Thank you for your reply Sigurd.

I didn't remember exactly all the issues I had, and I wanted to be specific in my reply, so yesterday I reinstalled 2.2.0. I setup I2C referencing DevAcademy Lesson 6 inside of a fresh Asset Tracker v2 project aaaaand it just worked... I've got no idea what I did wrong the first time... I do remember kconfig appearing to not always save my changes, so maybe something was messed up with my SDK installation? Anyway, doesn't really matter at this point.

I've also got the ADC working with the "unoffical example" after adding this to my overlay.

&adc {
	label = "ADC_0";
};

Since yesterday, I did have my kconfig 'forget' my changes at least once. Not sure what I did wrong. Is a "Pristine Build" supposed to wipe the kconfig?

Hi,

[quote user=""]Unfortunately, I was never able to get any of the additional peripherals working in v2.x[/quote]

What additional peripherals are you having issues with? Instead of using an old version of the SDK, you should rather get the peripherals working.

[quote user=""]Natively it supports sending Temperature and Humidity, but Air Pressure and Air Quality don't seem to be 100% integrated into this version. I've made the following changes, but the additional environmental variables (Air Pressure and Air Quality) are not being sent up to the cloud. Is there a file/change that I'm missing?[/quote]

This was first added to Asset Tracker v2 in nRF Connect SDK v1.9.0, ref this release note here: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/releases/release-notes-1.9.0.html#nrf9160-asset-tracker-v2
