Rapid PoC, With Vi IoT Sim Card

This article is a high-level overview of using Industrial Grade Vi™ IoT Sim Card to execute industrial/prototype-to-production PoCs rapidly.

Particle Electron, an out-of-the-box readily available hardware with a cloud bundle environment and Thingspeak open-source data visualization tool, can rapidly transform your ideas into a product using Vi Enterprise-grade IoT sim cards, meticulously crafted connectivity solution specifically for your organizational strategic objectives.

Hardware components:

1. Particle Electron - 1
2. DHT22 Temperature Sensor Module -1

Software apps and online services:

1. ThingSpeak API for data visualization.

The setup:

Now connect the sensor module DAT pin to D1, Vcc to 3.3v, and Gnd to Gnd of Particle Electron.

Let’s go to particle.io setup, and in the Electron section, click on“Setup my Electron.”

To successfully connect to the Device Cloud with a non-Particle SIM, you need to flash your device with special firmware.

The Electron indicates its status with the color LED. At first, it will blink green while connecting to the cell tower. After a few minutes, it will breathe cyan.

Electron breathing cyan means it’s connected to the internet

The Visualization:

We will use ThingSpeak to visualize the temperature and humidity.
