The video shows an end-to-end asset tracking application that sends its data over Wi-Fi using the Silicon Labs SiWG917 microcontroller. Data is collected from three SparkFun boards: a GPS board, an inertial measurement board plus a temperature and humidity board and sent over Wi-Fi to an Azure Cloud IoT Hub. A dashboard running on a local PC takes the data from Azure writing it into a MongoDB database and served to a browser using Node.js.
The example application, along with set up instructions is available in the Silicon Labs Wi-Fi Applications repository on GitHub and makes use of the Third-party Hardware Drivers Extension for the Simplicity Studio IDE, also on GitHub, to communicate with the sensor boards. Thanks to the large number of Third-party breakout boards in the extension you could swap out the included sensors for others, depending on your application needs. Similarly, the cloud, database and frontend could also be reworked to work with your preferred solutions.
