The main idea of this project is to use the Rapid IoT Kit as the control unit of an air conditioner, and use it to monitor and control temperature, humidity and air quality of your house, to make it always be a comfortable environment. The kit has monitor and control UI on its screen, and it also provides monitor and control UI on user's smart phone. The connection between the kit and phone is using BLE now. All the monitoring data and working status will be updated in real time.  In the future, we are planning to add WiFi connection for the kit, so that the kit can send data and be controlled from cloud service.                                             NOW                                                                                                                                                   FUTURE                             The attached file includes: Source code for the project Demo Binary file for the kit generated from project Atmosphere project file Demo video User Guide If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me.

Two of our interns this summer, Driss and Théophile, worked within a week to develop a connected beehive. Here is the approach:   Module 1 (play): Using Atmosphere only, develop a Beehive monitoring app with following features: Temperature and humidity posted to the Atmosphere cloud. Light detection to warn owner about somebody opening the roof of his beehouse or that it flew off. Gyroscope threshold detection for somebody stealing a beehouse (that becomes an issue in France). Will trigger an alarm on app if beehive is moved.   Module 2 (tinker) : Using click modules and MCUXpresso: Using a NFC reader module on the docking station, allow the user to record his/her behavior  using tags (extract honey, observe bee queen, etc.) Transfer these operations on a cloud via a Wifi module to record operations without having to note time and what operations were performed.   Module 3 (develop): Out of the blue with MCUXpresso: Use Rapid Iot to build a scale and report the weight of the beehouse on the kit display (+ Load cell, docking station and an amp + ADC)   The approach was modular where each module is working with its dedicated kit – but can be integrated into a single kit. All 3 modules were delivered in less than a week by Théo and Driss, which demonstrated that Rapid IoT prototyping kit is capable of taking an idea and turning it into a real product fast. Check out the attached video to meet our interns! What is even better is no bees were harmed throughout this process.

Hi, To support your applications development and because developing an IoT system requires various competencies, we have created a weather station example application, connected to the cloud. This application is NOT meant to be the state of the art Weather Station application, but instead, is a tool to learn and kick start your own application development. In this post, we share with you:    - The C code to be flashed on the rapid IoT kit.    - The Android and iOS mobile apps codes    - The cloud and broker app codes Under GitHub you can find code for the following components:   Android app: https://bitbucket.org/mobileknowledge/weather_station_demo-androidapppublic/src/master/ Cloud app: https://bitbucket.org/mobileknowledge/weather_station_demo-cloudapppublic/src/master/ Broker app: https://bitbucket.org/mobileknowledge/weather_station_demo-brokerapppublic/src/master/ iOS app: https://bitbucket.org/mobileknowledge/weather_station_demo-iosapppublic/src/master/ FW: https://bitbucket.org/mobileknowledge/weather_station_demo-fwpublic/src/master/   The android mobile application version can be found at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mk.wsd&hl=en_US   The iOS version link: ‎NXP IoT – Weather Station -  App Store    The data sent to the cloud can be consulted here: http://weatherstationcloudapp.us-west-2.elasticbeanstalk.com/ Login information is provided by the phone application (top right corner) and will be specific to the kits. Documents can be found below, explaining how to use the application and how the mobile & cloud apps have been developped.    

Don't miss the NXP Studio examples at rapid-iot-studio.nxp.com Don't hesitate to play/tinker those examples ! Embedded Variable Demo Demonstrates the Embedded Variable element. The temperature is read from the ENS210 every second and sent over BLE. Every 10 seconds, the stored temperature is read and displayed on the Rapid IoT display. Nano GPS Click Demo Demonstrates Nano GPS Click. Demo expects click board to be inserted into slot 3 of the docking station. The demo will display latitude and longitude on the RapidIot display once the GPS receives a lock. Note: The Nano GPS Click may take a long time to lock if indoors. Weather Station Demonstrates reading of weather related sensors such as temperature, humidity, pressure, ambient light, and air quality. Demonstrates basic BLE Characteristic writing and reading as well as cloud storage. And many more !

Here is a demo developed based on the Rapid IoT Kit. You can develop your own project in a short time after read the design user guide More details to come. 

Hi I know it is not always easy to reproduce steps in from the user guide, so I shot a few videos on some basic steps which generated some questions in community so far. In attached zip, you can find 4 videos:    - How to download and prepare RIoT SDK for installation    - How to import RIoT SDK into MCUXpresso    - How to import the Hello World Project from SDK into MCUXpresso    - How to import the Out Of the Box project from Rapid Iot Studio into MCUXpresso [all zis wiss my formidable axent] in an approximate but hopefully understandable english!  :smileygrin:  (I can always rework the videos to add subtitles if needed :smileygrin:) We will add more videos to further ease your experience with Rapid IoT based on your questions in the community

Hello, please find attached an updated version of the Out of the Box application.  This version is 'public' meaning that once falshed on a kit any one can connect to it. Key changes compared to previous version: - Bug fix: when switching back and forth BLE / THREAD /BLE, kits were rebooting once BLE connection was established - Default display brightness was reduced leading to ballpark 15% longer battery life - CCS811 sensor update was decreased from once every second to once every 10s which will save 10 to 15% battery life more - UARTover USB has been enabled allowing user to track / debug using a terminal while the kit is connected to a PC 

Check out this video highlighting the Rapid IoT out-of-the-box experience. We would love to hear what you think about the video and your experience using Rapid IoT. Enjoy! Javier

A few of Rapid IoT's sensors are utilized- gyro/accel/mag Rapid IoT is trained to send an alert when an out of bound condition occurs The same principle of anomaly detection can be applicable for other verticals- e.g. temperature, humidity, air quality for Home and Building automatio Thanks to Theophile LeRoy for putting this together

Check out this video where Jim Cramer sits down with NXP Semiconductor President and CEO Richard Clemmer to hear what he has in store for the era of the connected (and, soon, self-driving) car and discusses Rapid IoT. https://www.cnbc.com/video/2018/09/11/nxp-semiconductor-ceo-on-autonomous-driving-longevity.html

Over the week-end we have updated the Rapid IoT Studio servers to improve user experience further. On top of few examples on elements usage, we have now made the NFC Tag element available. Check attached example project on a simple use case. The tag embedded in Rapid Iot is updated every 10 seconds with the temperature sensor information. You can read the NFC Tag back using a NFC reader and taping it at the back of Rapid IoT

The Rapid IoT Kit combines optimized hardware design including processing, connectivity and trusted security with proven software including drivers, middleware and GUI based programming enabling you to easily take your IoT idea to a proof of concept (POC) quickly. Would you use the Rapid IoT kit to develop your next idea? We would love to hear from you.
