- The Nordic Thingy:91 X is a 4G LTE IoT prototyping platform ideal for asset
tracking, smart cities, smart agriculture, smart warehousing, and more. It supports LTE-M and NB-IoT and features multiple environmental and motion sensors, all controlled by a Arm Cortex-M33 CPU.

As always, your videos are fantastic. Thank you.
I appreciate you saying that!
the "huge number of examples" is a big plus
i have been looking for something like this to put in my car as an antitheft device. available in mouser or digitkey with battery but not sure of the energy usage or compatibility in north america networks. great find, thanks!
As for compatibility is seems to be designed for global use can use anything between 700mhz up to 2200mhz so uhh b12, b13, b5 and b4/66
Thank you Gary. I was using an Arduino to send myself text messages when the inside of our camper got too hot for the dog. The US decided to drop 2G connection and it stopped working. This could possibly take its place. I’m somewhat worried about the programming however. What IDE would I use and what programming language? I’m sure you must have mentioned it in the video but I didn’t understand.
Gary,
Wow! That's a bizarre and exciting thing(y) :D I'll be interested to find out what's the cost for keeping the unit a valid SIM card after the free minutes are up. I guess that will depend mostly on the data use, but if it's anything like a cell phone plan, you'd be paying $30/month to start with. Have I misunderstood the situation?
I think they are much cheaper than that. In Europe with Onomondo it is €0.004 per MB and €0.030 per month per SIM.
Would be great for a beehive monitoring device. Scales for monitoring weight, temp, wifi for data from more hives around using a more basic devices and location (turned on maybe 2x a day)
WHERE the Hell are GPIOs ?????? Why i am not seeing it
There is a QWIC i2c connector plus an expansion board (which comes in the box) if you need GPIO pins.
Please compare snapdragon elite for galaxy against other processors.
Very cool, medical hardware that monitors patients, or takes logs that get uploaded periodically, use what seems like the same tech. My dad's c-pap machine had cell access. I am guessing they are similar to pagers, sending data easily used by linux as a data stream. And cheap to use. By the time I can get one, hopefully they have a device that can attach to other microcontrollers, but the fcc requirements are more strict for cell tech, so probably not 🤪
The world is getting smaller.
