Sub-1 GHz Sensor-to-Cloud Linux®E14 Kit
This guide provides steps to run the out-of-box Sensor-to-Cloud example. This kit allows you to view and
control sensors on a Sub-1 GHz network from the cloud. All the devices in the kit are preprogrammed with
required software. The kit includes two methods of operation: a cloud-connected gateway and a local
gateway. The cloud-connected gateway lets you leverage cloud services such as Amazon Web
Services™ (AWS) and IBM Watson®Internet of Things (IoT). The local gateway lets you run a gateway
within a local IP network for privately managed networks that do not require external connectivity. It is
important to note that the design lets you quickly add any desired cloud service.

1 Hardware Setup
The BeagleBone Black (BBB) comes equipped with a BeagleBone Wireless Connectivity Cape and a
preinserted microSD card with necessary software. Connect the BBB to the CC1350 LaunchPad labeled
MAC co-processor as shown in Figure 1. Connect the 5-V power supply to the BBB and an electrical
outlet. The CC1350 LaunchPad labeled Sensor in Figure 1 should be connected to any USB power
source using the provided USB cable.
Figure 1. Sensor-to-Cloud Hardware Setup
2 Running the Demo
The BBB operates out of the box as a Wi-Fi®access point with SSID: SitaraAP. Connect to the network
with a PC by using the password: sensor-to-cloud. Once connected, open a browser and type in the
address bar: http://192.168.43.1:1310. This opens the Sensor-to-Cloud welcome page hosted on the BBB
(see Figure 2).

Figure 2. Sensor-to-Cloud Welcome Page
Select the method of operation for the demo:
• Cloud Gateway (see Section 3)
The Cloud Gateway allows you to monitor and control the Sub-1 GHz network using AWS or IBM
Cloud Service. The IBM Quickstart method is easy and requires no setup, while other methods require
additional steps.
• Local Gateway (see Section 8)
The Local Gateway is the best method to start with. This method allows you to monitor and control the
Sub-1 GHz network using a local IP network for privately managed networks that do not need external
connectivity.

3 Running Local Gateway
Clicking Local Gateway automatically redirects to the TI 15.4-Stack Example Application - Collector
Application after a short delay (see Figure 4).
Figure 4. Selecting Local Gateway
1. Select open to allow the sensor to join the network.
2. Power on the sensor, if not done so already. The sensor will automatically join the network.
NOTE: If the sensor does not connect automatically, see Section 8.1.

3. The sensor is now reporting data to the Sub-1 GHz gateway and allows you to control and visualize
data on a local cloud platform. Use the Red LED option to control the red LED on the CC1350
LaunchPad labeled Sensor.
NOTE: There may be a few seconds of delay with the Toggle command.
4 Running Cloud Gateway
To run a Cloud Gateway, the BBB must be connected to the Internet.
1. Click Cloud Gateway.
2. The BBB can be connected through ethernet or Wi-Fi.
a. If you are using a Wi-Fi connection, skip to Step 3.
b. For ethernet connections, attach an ethernet cable to the ethernet port on the BBB. You should
see Ethernet in the Network Connection Status as seen in Figure 6. Next, skip to Step 4.

3. To begin a 10-second network scan, select the drop-down menu adjacent to the SSID labeled Click
here to scan for available networks. Select from the list of available networks and provide the
Network Key. Selecting Remember Network causes the BBB to automatically connect to the selected
network when possible. This is true even after the device has been reset.
Figure 7. Internet Connection Configuration
4. After successfully connecting to the Internet, select the desired cloud service (see Figure 8). The Local
Gateway option may be selected even though it does not require an Internet connection. Amazon Web
Services is provided through stackArmor.

6. Power-on the sensor, if this is not already done. The sensor automatically joins the network and
appears in the Network Chart and Sensor Nodes table, as shown in Figure 10.
NOTE: If sensor does not connect automatically, see Section 8.1.
7. The sensor is now reporting data to the Sub-1 GHz gateway and allows you to control and visualize
data through AWS. Use the Toggle option to control the red LED on the CC1350 LaunchPad labeled

6 Using IBM Quickstart
Section 2 and Section 3 should be followed before continuing here (see Section 2 and Section 3,
respectively).
Selecting IBM Quickstart launches the IBM Watson IoT Platform.
NOTE: Currently, IBM Quickstart does not support a way to send commands from the cloud to the
Sub-1 GHz gateway.
Figure 11. IBM Quickstart
1. Power on the sensor, if not done so already. The platform automatically detects the sensor, and the
web page updates with a list of sensor data.
NOTE: If sensor does not connect automatically, see Section 8.1.
2. From the list of sensor data, select a sensor data point to see its value graphed. In Figure 12,
smart_objects.temperature.0.sensorValue is selected.
